Laboratory Inspection Guide
The purpose of this guide is to assist a knowledgeable Occupational Health and Safety Officer in conducting a proper inspection of a laboratory.
The guide is prepared for those Officers who specialize in Part II of the Canada Labour Code, and who are required to inspect laboratories, either on a routine basis, or in response to specific complaints, including work refusals.
The Canada Labour Code, Part II and its Regulations make reference to codes and standards and other technical documents that are most relevant to the specific topic. However, prior to obtaining an AVC or issuing a direction, all references must be verified for accuracy and appropriate application.
