Asbestos on Construction Projects - Reporting and Notification Responsibilities

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses reporting and notification responsibilities for asbestos on construction projects in Ontario and features Michele Beckstead-Jackson, Provincial Specialist with the Construction Health and Safety Program of the Occupational Health and Safety Branch, at the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD).

Michele discusses the various reports and notifications required for submission to the Ministry, such as the Owner Report and the Asbestos Worker Report, among others. The Owner Report requires the owner of the building to report to the Ministry before tendering, arranging, or contracting work for demolition, alteration, or repair operations where asbestos will be handled. The employer must submit an Asbestos Worker Report to the Ministry for each worker involved in type two or type three removal operations. They must provide a copy of the report to the worker at the time of submission and upon termination.

Asbestos management planning is a shared responsibility that should be clearly communicated to all parties involved. Employers, contractors, and workers who are dealing with asbestos must ensure they are working safely and are in compliance with the laws in Ontario.
