Update of the Hazard Prevention Program
The present program dates back to 2011 and does not reflect the total reality at PCH. In particular, the hazards found at the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) are not given in great detail (many laboratories). Furthermore, in 2013 PCH received a new program from the National Capital Commission (NCC). A number of NCC employees involved in Canada Day and Winterlude, for instance, joined PCH. That group, now known as the Capital Experience, face many hazards previously unknown at PCH (e.g.: stage construction, outdoor work in winter and in summer, etc.) Furthermore, with the new standardization of the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), we must ensure that everything is compliant.
This bid solicitation is being issued to satisfy the requirement of The Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH) [the “Client”] for the provision of Task and Solutions Professional Services. PCH aims to comply with the requirements of Part II of the Canada Labour Code as well as those of Part XIX of the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations in terms of the Occupational Hazard Prevention Program in regards to hazard identification and assessment (according to the hazard level), the choice of prevention measures and identification of the appropriate training. The identified hazard will be comprised of safety hazards (such as working at height, hazards related to the use of machinery and mobile equipment), physical hazards, biological and chemical hazards, ergonomic hazards and psychosocial hazards as well as any other hazards that can be identified.
