Take note: Ontario Regulation 278/05, which considers asbestos in construction and repair projects and asbestos in buildings in general, has changed. To quote the Ontario Public Service Employees Union website, "One important change in the regulation that may increase awareness of asbestos in workplaces is a provision that re-inspection of existing asbestos must occur at frequent intervals and records must be updated at least once every twelve-month period. These changes will be phased in; until November 1, 2007, only workplaces with friable asbestos will be expected to comply with this section. After November 1, 2007, workplaces with any type of asbestos will be subject to the new rules."
This means new rules and reporting/management requirements for building owners (and municipalities that oversee them) in Ontario. When I said it is difficult to keep up with new regulations without a system in place, this is the kind of thing I am referring to. Implementing an Asbestos Management Software application like Basebridge's Hazmat Inspector can help owners comply with this new regulation, and in fact, we are planning to create a custom report aimed specifically at this new requirement in Ontario. There was never a better time for Ontario building owners and associated organizations to take a close look at Asbestos Management Software.
