filed June 26, 2000 under Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1
Skip to contentONTARIO REGULATION 388/00
made under the
occupational health and safety act
Made: June 21, 2000
Filed: June 26, 2000
Amending Reg. 833 of R.R.O. 1990
(Control of Exposure to Biological or Chemical Agents)
1. The Schedule to Regulation 833 of the Revised Regulations of Ontario, 1990 is amended by striking out the following:
NOTE: Use of the Index to Find an Agent
2. The Schedule to the Regulation is amended by revoking the Table of Contents and substituting the following:
|
TABLE OF CONTENTS
|
Part |
Biological and Chemical Agents |
|
Calculation of Exposure Values |
2A |
Calculation of Exposure Values Where a STEV or CEV is Not Indicated |
2B |
Explanatory Notes on Chemical Names, CAS Reg. Nos., and Other Notations |
3 |
Time–Weighted Average Exposure Values (TWAEV) and Short–Term Exposure Values (STEV) for Ceiling Exposure Values (CEV) |
4 |
Exposure Values for Simple Asphyxiants |
9 |
Known Toxic Agents for Which Exposure Values Have Not Been Established, and to Which Any Exposure Should be Avoided |
10 |
Exposure Values for Acrylonitrile, Benzene and Mercury |
11 |
|
3. Part 1 of the Schedule to the Regulation (Index of Biological and Chemical Agents) is revoked.
4. Part 2B of the Schedule to the Regulation is amended by striking out “Part 4, 6, 7 or 8” and substituting “Part 4”.
5. (1) Part 3 of the Schedule to the Regulation is amended by striking out “Parts 4 to 11” and substituting “Parts 4, 9, 10 and 11”.
(2) Part 3 of the Schedule to the Regulation is amended by adding the following notations:
The notation “respirable” following the name of an agent in this Schedule means that size fraction of the airborne particulate deposited in the gas–exchange region of the respiratory tract and collected during air sampling with a particle size–selective device that,
(a) meets the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) particle size–selective criteria; and
(b) has the cut point of 4 microns at 50 per cent collective efficiency.
The notation “inhalable” following the name of an agent in this Schedule means that size fraction of the airborne particulate deposited anywhere in the respiratory tract and collected during air sampling with a particle size–selective device that,
(a) meets the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) particle size–selective criteria; and
(b) has the cut point of 10 microns at 50 per cent collective efficiency.
6. (1) The heading to Part 4 of the Schedule to the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:
PART 4 Time–Weighted Average Exposure Values (TWAEV), Short–Term Exposure Values (STEV) and Ceiling Exposure Values (CEV)
(2) Part 4 of the Schedule to the Regulation is amended by striking out the following items:

Footnotes
(A) Provided that the total dust contains less than 0.7% vanadium.
(B) Provided that the respirable dust concentration does not exceed 2 mg/m3.
(C) For assessing the visibility in a work environment where 1,2–propylene glycol aerosol is present.
(D) The value is for particulate matter containing no asbestos and less than 1% crystalline silica.
(E) A secondary limit of 5 mg/m3 (total dust) is recommended to deal with dusty operations where fibre counts are usually difficult to determine.
Where both types of measurements are made simultaneously, the more restrictive limit should be used to assess the exposures.
1 As sum of components assayed by chromatographic procedure with reference to the bulk sample.
