WHY IS THE MOL DOING A MODULAR TRAINING BLITZ? • Workers can be at risk of serious injury if they are not trained or properly qualified to perform work assigned. • The Mining Health and Safety Prevention Review (MHSPR) identified training as one of the key areas for review and its Final Report contained a number of training- related recommendations. • Training issues have been identified in the recommendations from a number of recent and past Coroner’s Jury inquests . 9
WHY IS THE MOL DOING A MODULAR TRAINING BLITZ? • Coroner’s Jury Inquests are mandatory for deaths that occur as a result of an accident in the course of employment at construction sites, mines, pits or quarries. • Between April 1, 2011 and August 20, 2014 inspectors wrote more than 250 orders related to the modular training requirements set out in Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants) under the OHSA. 10
IMPORTANT NOTE RE: TRAINING CONTROL BLITZ • This presentation explicitly references specific sections of Regulation 854 to highlight some key focus areas of MOL inspectors during this blitz. • Inspectors will be checking for compliance with training requirements in the OHSA and relevant regulatory provisions (for example Reg. 854). • MOL inspectors will also check for compliance with other requirements in the OHSA and the regulations that apply to mines and mining plants. 11
