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. 2016-05-17T17:16:14.025446+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/3cfb4968-2b26-422b-9ed7-48c3c93039d2Guideline for the development of a code of practice for respiratory protective equipment2020-01-28T18:20:15.395839+00:00The Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code requires that a Code of Practice describing the selection, maintenance and use of respiratory protective equipment be developed whenever respirators are used at the work site. 2016-05-17T17:58:14.179859+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/0c1e45ae-126b-42e1-98f9-a96739492cfeCourse guidelines : occupational health and safety for the asbestos worker [2015]2020-01-28T19:38:01.491784+00:00This document summarizes the course content, worker re-certification and administrative procedure requirements for agencies approved to deliver the course “Occupational Health and Safety for the Asbestos Worker”.2017-05-25T16:53:07.647734+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/4f40fbf4-8a91-4eda-8081-53dc301cb9c5Occupational health and safety acceptances2020-10-19T16:36:24.680699+00:00Section 34 of Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act offers a way for an employer, contractor or prime contractor who wishes to achieve compliance through a different approach than complying with an existing requirement of the OHS Regulation or Code, to propose an alternative approach to protect the health and safety of workers. 2016-05-17T17:44:53.068372+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/c7a6e20d-2c77-4374-b5fa-0bbac47b3800Immunizations for worker exposure2021-01-13T23:59:11.030690+00:00Workers in a variety of settings may be exposed to biohazardous substances that cause disease.

The system requires suppliers and distributors of controlled products to provide specified hazard information to their customers. The customers, acting as employers, must pass that hazard information on to their workers. WHMIS has three elements: Labels, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), and Worker education.2015-05-13T14:59:03.300742+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/9d719c7d-86aa-4c5d-814d-98ed62285b8cEbola virus disease : information for employers and workers2023-01-31T21:12:27.972916+00:00This bulletin has been developed to provide employers and workers with information about Ebola virus disease (EVD).
