Canada Regulations

In Canada, Industrial Safety is governed at the Provincial level. Each province has its own regulations that are maintained and enforced. For example, Ontario established the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which sets out the rights and duties of all parties in the workplace. Its main purpose is to protect workers against health and safety hazards on the job. The Act establishes procedures for dealing with workplace hazards, and it provides for enforcement of the law where compliance has not been achieved voluntarily.

Within the Act there is regulation 851, section 7 that defines the Pre-Start Health and Safety review. This review is a requirement within Ontario for any new, rebuilt or modified piece of machinery and a report needs to be generated by a professional engineer.
