Occupational Health Resources

Increasing efforts by unions and community groups to prevent occupational disease, legislative changes and the increase in public awareness that these generate are placing greater demands on the resources of the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) as well as the Workers Health & Safety Centre (WHSC).  The funding for OHCOW & WHSC should be increased to allow them to improve the resources necessary to respond to the emerging trends around occupational disease and its’ prevention.

Process-Specific Regulations

Process-specific regulations are another area we provided detailed comments on in March 2000.  We continue to support this concept and refer the MOL to that document.
