REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

The Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations (SJCSR) has identified a number of concerns noticing various technical errors and inconsistencies in various occupational health and safety regulations that the Labour Program of Employment and Social Development Canada (the Labour Program) needed to address.

Background

The Labour Program seeks to promote and sustain stable industrial relations and safe, fair, healthy, equitable and productive workplaces within the federal jurisdiction (e.g. interprovincial transportation, postal services and courier companies, telecommunications, banking, grain handling, nuclear facilities, federal Crown corporations, and certain activities undertaken on First Nations land). This mandate is partially achieved through the development and implementation of occupational health and safety regulations that aimed to reduce work-related accidents and illnesses in federal jurisdiction workplaces made under Part II of the Canada Labour Code (the Code).

Over the years, the SJCSR reviewed occupational health and safety regulations under the purview of the Labour Program (listed below) and noted the need for miscellaneous amendments to address issues they identified:

Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (COHSR), which establish health and safety standards to address hazards, and prevent accidents and injuries in federally regulated workplaces;
On Board Trains Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (OTOHSR), which establish health and safety standards to protect employees on board trains while the train is in operation, and address hazards that are unique to the working environment on board a train in addition to general occupational health and safety hazards;
Aviation Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (AOHSR), which establish health and safety standards for the federally regulated aviation industry in order to protect the health and safety of employees on board aircraft while in operation and in respect of persons granted access to those aircraft by the employer;
Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (MOHSR), which establish health and safety standards for the federally regulated marine sector in order to protect the health and safety of employees on board vessels and in the loading or unloading of vessels; and
Policy Committees, Workplace Committees and Health and Safety Representatives Regulations, aim to reduce accidents, illnesses and fatalities in federally regulated work places by improving the capacity of policy committees, work place committees and health and safety representatives to identify and address hazards in the work place.

Objectives

The objectives of the Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Made Under Part II of the Canada Labour Code (Miscellaneous Program) hereinafter referred to as “the amendments” are as follows:

To correct references to section numbering, typographical or grammatical errors;
To correct discrepancies between the English and the French versions;
To add clarity or ensure enforceability of regulatory provisions;
To improve consistency or harmonize terms with other provisions within or among the regulations; and
To repeal obsolete or unnecessary regulatory provisions.

Description

The Labour Program is proposing a series of miscellaneous amendments to address various concerns raised by SJCSR. These amendments of administrative and editorial nature do not negatively impact stakeholders or change the policy intention of the regulations. Each of the amendments falls into one of five categories mentioned above.

Examples of the proposed amendments are included below to illustrate the five categories of amendments that will achieve the objectives of this proposal.

To correct references to section numbering, typographical or grammatical errors:

Subsection 174(2) [English of MOHSR]: The proper provision to be referenced has been corrected to subsection 171(2) from subsection 172(2).
Preamble [English and French of MOHSR]: The proper provision to be referenced has been corrected to sections 125, 125.1, 125.2, 126 and 157 from the Code from section 157.
Subsection 149(2) [French of MOHSR]: A comma is introduced to ensure proper grammar is used.

To correct discrepancies between the English and the French version:

Schedule 1, paragraphs 1(f) and 2(f) [French of AOHSR] and Schedule V, paragraphs 1(f) and 2(f) [French of COHSR]: The words “mesures pour éviter l’infection” are replaced by “mesures pour éviter la contamination” to better align with “Anti-contamination procedures.”
Paragraphs 12(5)(e) and 12(9)(a), subsections 12(6) and 229(3), and section 237 [French of MOHSR]: The word “passerelles” is replaced by “passerelles d’embarquement.”

To add clarity or ensure enforceability of regulatory provisions:

Sections 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 [English of OTOHSR]: The words “set out in section 4.4” are replaced by “referred to in section 4.4” because section 4.4 does not set out a limit, rather it refers to a limit referenced elsewhere in the regulations.
Subsection 8.3(3) [English of AOHSR]: The text is modified by clarifying that the qualified person must abide by the requirements outlined in paragraphs 8.3(3)(a) and (b). The current text describes the inspection, testing and maintenance duties of the qualified person, but does not prescribe that such duties must be met by the qualified person.

To improve consistency or harmonize terms with other provisions within or among the regulations:

Various provisions through the regulations [COHSR, OTOHSR, AOHSR and MOHSR]: “If feasible” replaced “reasonably practicable,” “practicable” and “possible” to be used as the French equivalent of “dans la mesure du possible.”
Various provisions through the regulations [French of AOHSR and MOHSR]: The word “ventilation” has been changed to “aeration” to ensure consistent use of the word as equivalent to the English word “ventilation.”
Whenever an issue was identified in one regulation, but also applied to other regulations, corrections in these other regulations have been made. For example, issues related to discrepancies of the French equivalent of the English words “education,” “training” and “instructions” have been amended in COHSR, OTOHSR, AOHSR and MOHSR.

To repeal obsolete or unnecessary regulatory provisions:

Section 3.2 [English and French of AOHSR]: This provision requires certain equipment be operated and maintained in accordance with standards established under the Aeronautics Act. Legal obligations under another Act should be met regardless of whether it is specified in a provision made under the Code.
Section 4 [English and French of the Policy Committees, Work Place Committees and Health and Safety Representatives Regulations]: The opening phrase “Subject to section 135.1 of the Act” is repealed because indicating that section 4 is subject to section 135.1 of the Act has no effect on the operation of the provision, and that clearly, the regulations are subordinate to the legislation.
Subsection 99(2) [English and French of MOHSR]: This provision prohibits an employer from disclosing information “whose disclosure is prohibited by law.” Such requirement is repealed given that this provision is unnecessary if the disclosure is already prohibited.
Subsection 236(7) [English and French of MOHSR]: This provision provides that if the use of visual signals by a signaller will not be an effective means of communication, the employer must provide the signaller and the operator with a telephone, radio or other audible signalling device. However, subsection 229(7) already provides that “if it is not practicable for a signaller to use visual signals, a telephone, radio or other signalling device must be provided by the employer for the signaller’s use.” Therefore, this subsection is duplicative and repealed.

“One-for-One” Rule

The “One-for-One” Rule does not apply to these amendments, as there is no change in administrative costs or burden to business.

Small business lens

The small business lens does not apply to these amendments, as there are no costs to small business.

Consultation

As the amendments are considered to be administrative in nature, do not change the policy intent of the regulations and do not have any practical impact on federally regulated employers and employees, it was determined that formal consultations were not necessary.

Rationale

The amendments will increase the accuracy, consistency and enforceability of COHSR, MOHSR, AOHSR, OTOHSR, and Policy Committees, Workplace Committees and Health and Safety Regulations, reducing the likelihood of misinterpretation of these regulations. They are in response to SJCSR concerns, comments and recommendations, and stakeholders are not expected to be negatively impacted.

Implementation, enforcement and service standards

The amendments are administrative in nature, and do not make any substantive changes to any of the provisions identified. No incremental implementation or enforcement activities are anticipated.
