Ontario Section 34 Notifications

Section 34 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA S.34), governed by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, is designed to protect the health and safety of workers from potential harm of agents considered “new” in the Ontario workplace. Similar to the federal New Substances Notification Regulations (NSNR), OHSA S.34 stipulates the need for notification prior to workplace introduction of new agents by manufacturers, importers, distributors and suppliers.

To support your company's compliance needs for OHSA S. 34, Intertek Cantox can:

• Advise if notification is required;
• Prepare notification dossiers;
• Support foreign suppliers' efforts to provide confidential information in support of Canadian customers; and
• Provide pre- and post-notification consultation with the regulatory authorities.
