Description

This document provides guidance to Alberta employers and workers to help ensure the protection of workers during remediation activities for safe re-occupancy of former marijuana grow operations (MGO). It is important to distinguish between the hazards associated with an “active” MGO and those with a “shut-down” MGO. An active MGO is an illegal activity which may present additional safety hazards. Once shut down, these risks no longer apply, but other hazards may be present. This document only considers the hazards that remain once the MGO has been dismantled, criminal activity has stopped and related materials (plants and bulk chemicals) have been removed. This document is intended to assist employers and workers in identifying and understanding the hazards that may be involved in the remediation of these operations. It is not intended to provide step-by-step procedures for remediation professionals and homeowners.
