MWF Compliance

Employing more than 400 full-time occupational health and safety inspectors, the Ontario Labour board is planning a September blitz to focus on hazardous chemicals at metal fabrication shops. Will your facility be ready?

For each contravention of the Occupational Health and Safety act, a court can impose fines up to $500,000 against a corporation, while individuals can face fines up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 12 months.

Safe at Work Ontario inspectors will focus on ensuring your facility has the necessary training, procedures and management practices in place to minimize the risk to workers exposed to the potential hazards of Metal Working Fluids. Hazard communication visibility as well as availability of personal protective equipment, spill control plans and emergency response procedures will be audited as well to ensure they meet provincial regulations.

If you aren't sure if your plant is ready, we can help you find out before the auditor shows up and then put you quickly onto a compliance path.

If you are sure your facility is not ready, we will put together a customized MWF Management program to meet OSHA's requirements.

If you are looking for cost effective means to keep your facility compliant over time, our on-line management system will ensure your facility gets and stays in control.
