The Need
Driving Factors:
Training Requirements expanding Volunteer time is a finite and scarce resource Greater efficiencies in training & recordkeeping Industrial H&S zero injuries goal in the Fire ServiceAggressive governmental OH&S enforcement
The Need
Between 2007 and 2009 the Ontario Ministry of Labour conducted 205 inspections resulting in 349 orders issued to Fire Departments.

The Need
That is 1.7 orders per inspection.
There are no figures released regarding actual charges laid.
The Need
STATEMENT:
“The five most common orders were related to the employer’s duty to take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances, providing instruction and supervision to workers, maintenance of equipment, production of documents, and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System.”
