Preparing for a workplace inspection during COVID-19

Since March 11, the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development has conducted more than 20,000 field visits related to COVID-19.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, inspections by provincial inspectors have increased in Canada and the U.S. and not everyone is fully meeting the safety necessities. Here are a couple of points on how the provincial government is working to ensure compliance through the pandemic.​
​

• Inspectors will attend the workplace to audit for compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and regulations. It may be specific to COVID prevention but may also be a look at all workplace hazards.
• Measures and procedures to manage COVID exposures and transmission will be an area of focus. They include screening, hand hygiene, maintaining physical distancing and more. Inspectors may also look at workplace specific hazards in the work done at a specific workplace such as guarding, falls and exposure to chemicals.
• Some of the common compliance issues found were lack of PPE, lack of physical distancing, unsanitary conditions and not taking proper COVID-19 precautions.​
