Canada's Chemicals Management Plan has a closing timeline of 2020 and although it seem far away the question is how will it help or hinder your business in the use of chemicals and what changes MUST you apply in your business?
K-REACH - How to Prepare for the K-REACH LegislationCovance
In 2015, South Korea introduced legislation designed to protect human health and the environment from the impact of chemicals. The two pieces of legislation introduced were the: Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals (K-REACH), which mandates the registration of all new and existing chemicals marketed or imported into South Korea at ≥1 metric ton per year, requiring detailed information on their likely hazard to human health and the environment and the Chemicals Control Act (CCA), which focuses on chemical reporting and chemical accident prevention.

US Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) ReformCovance
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Public Law 94-469, was first signed into Law on October 11, 1976 due to the use of a large number of chemicals in the United States (US) and exposure to human health or the environment. This act was recently updated under 'The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act', Public Law 114-182, and was signed into Law on June 22, 2016 by US President Obama. The scope of the reform does not include; pesticides, tobacco, nuclear materials, food, drugs or cosmetics. TSCA allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess chemical risks to human health and the environment and to take action to control these risks. In summary, TSCA authorizes the EPA to keep an 'inventory' of all existing chemicals. Currently the inventory comprises approximately 83,000 chemicals that are being manufactured or imported into the US. Chemicals on the inventory can be manufactured or imported into the US, chemicals that are not on the inventory cannot be manufactured or imported into the US.
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed into law on Jan. 4, 2011, expands the power of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to oversee food safety with a focus on prevention. Each year, about 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die—all from foodborne diseases that are preventable.
The FSMA is designed to reduce those numbers by radically updating industry practices to ensure food safety and defense in an evolving global economy. Because of how vast and interconnected food supply has become, these regulations will impact a number of industries.

Harmonizing the global language of safety - a monumental but necessary undert...Linde Gas Benelux
The convergence of several chemical reclassification and labelling initiatives being implemented in the global business arena to boost health, safety and environmental protection to an unprecedented level is poised to have a monumental impact on the world’s industrial sector.
The guidelines are intended to help countries identify priorities, objectives and the desired goal of disease control programmes. Disease control programmes are often established with the aim of eventual eradication of agents at a country, zone or compartment level. While this approach is desirable, the needs of stakeholders may require a broader range of outcomes. For some diseases, eradication may not be economically or practically feasible and options for sustained mitigation of disease impacts may be needed. It is important to clearly describe the programme goals and these may range from simple mitigation of disease impacts to progressive control or eradication of the disease. These guidelines highlight the importance of economic assessment of disease intervention options in the design of programmes taking into consideration effectiveness, feasibility of implementation, as well as costs and benefits. The purpose is to provide a conceptual framework that can be adapted to a particular national and epidemiological context.

GHS Canada or what we call WHMIS 2015 has few changes and your staff need to learn and review in the workplace, so what have you covered in this topic at work
When people don’t want to follow safetyTerry Penney
In a company we would all like to think folks would like to learn about Health and safety but if you dont want to then you can learn about THANATOLOGY and what take place for those who dont!
Serious incident investigation at work and what's happeningTerry Penney
Since the industrial revolution the world has seen an ever increasing proliferation of production facilities and with it a steady increase in workplace accidents and fatalities. The field of safety management was borne out of the need to curtail the extremely high human and commercial costs of these incidents. When a fatality at work takes place people need to understand the importance of the event plus what officers and OHS need to learn from the site.
As numerous law enforcement agencies start to ramp up the R2MR training, and even some fire services I wonder what about small forces or departments. It whole design is guided to help the TRI-Service member and his family make it safely to retirement. In August even the Alberta WCB noted the mental health in a huge presentation, is present in todays tri-service members.
I always remember the statements like we cant afford this training, or costs, but what about the staff the employee or employees.
Here is the overview of the program you be the judge on your needs
As GHS rules and laws get pumped up in Canada and USA a lot of folks are training including law enforcement agencies, but with training comes confusion for some agencies between the cross over in Dangerous good/HazMat and GHS and why are some in GHS not the exact same in Dangerous Goods! Well read on to find out!
Learning the safety features of HazMat/Dangerous Goods in the USA could not be anymore easier than this for your workers and it is great reminder training program too on the 9 classes and 27 Hazards you must know to be COMPETENT in Hazmat
Where worker knowledge in ghs and tdg crosses over into worker safety underst...Terry Penney
GHS and the NEW practices are here to stay stop whining and they have certain BOLD and frontline features that cross over into Dangerous Goods/Hazmat so do you the worker know what they are?
So as a trained person in Dangerous Goods/Hazmat seriously what things did you not cover regarding class 6 dangerous goods and the over 740 products known plus how does it relate to GHS because Canada is the only place todate that includes that symbol in its pictograms!
As a First Responder, regardless of job duty do you know the risks associated to Class 7 Dangerous Goods and what about that worker using them DO THEY understand the risks, Oh wait what about the municipality that allows them to be stored or shipped! Class 7 dangerous goods like NORMS or any other radiation risk needs your training standards upgraded!
NORMS in the oil and gas industry are regulated but poorly police or enforced by agencies and industry because a lot places dont know the rules and what is required, so lets clear this mystery up once and for all and haul and store them properly before your next government inspection or worker Cancer Risk
Active shooters and risks have been a factor in today's society countless number of times and we would and should teach our staff to react or do things that would save them. But in Health and Safety that seeing factor goes to seeing the HAZARD long before its a hazard.
Here is great coffee table or tool box reminder that lump in your clothes is not a large tuna fish sandwich
GHS in Canada is NOT secret or RESTRICTED nor COMPLICATED and either should your worker preliminary training and WHMIS 2015 via this presentation laces out the PRIMARY knowledge your workers must be updated on in Canada
In GHS certain critical training items always get left out by the instructor because they are dry or the worker many not understand, turn that around and make it simple and easy to follow and maybe the worker wont get hurt in the first place In this presentation this has been done to make it that simple under GHS and Worker safety in Canada
GHS and Lead Worker safety go together like Bread and Butter and letting worker and families know the huge document risks is critical safety data to safe and happy families
In the United States or if you own a company in the USA OSHA 300 reporting can be a headache for the untrained plus dont forget State Plan Adoption of OSHA’s Revised Reporting Requirements (29 CFR 1904.39) As of August 15, 2016
Plus the new ruling for January of 2017 So how well trained are your staff, are you doing it right and remember the fines for not doing it right went up big time in the USA so you may want to train up before you are charged!
Sometimes in the workplace SHAVING is part of the job and totally necessary and on lots of sites it is an ABSOLUTE MUST! So know the rules and follow them for your safety! Now mask up!
GHS and First Nations People in the United States is first in a series of training for First Nations Communities to review and use in the United States of America

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

Canada chemical management plan
1. Canada's Chemicals
Management Plan goes way
into 2020 to complete
Yes Canada is talking about the changes to our current Chemical Plan and
Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (Cepa). The review will address
the many initiatives laid out in the Act, including the Chemicals Management
Plan (CMP). Remember the review is not just hazardous substance but
domestic substances. Canadian municipalities, the provinces and territories,
and the federal government each have roles in protecting against risks from
chemical substances. The federal government makes laws and develops
guidelines and objectives that apply to all of Canada, leads scientific
research on human health and environmental issues, and acts with other
countries to collaborate on the assessment and effective management of
chemicals. While most federal chemicals initiatives are led jointly by
Environment Canada and Health Canada, several other federal departments
and agencies contribute to a range of activities to promote a life cycle
approach to the sound management of chemicals. Canada’s approach strives
to be transparent – and all stakeholders – including industry, academia,
health and environmental organizations, Aboriginal organizations,community
groups, and other nongovernment organizations are given opportunities to
provide input into the implementationof the Chemicals Management Plan.
In Canada the legislation governing the use of chemical substances include:
ƒ The Hazardous Products Act – establishes standards for chemical
classification and hazard communication and the authority to regulate or
prohibit consumer products and workplace chemicals which pose a risk to
their users; ƒ
The Pest Control Products Act – ensures the protection of human health,
safety and the environment by regulating products used for the control of
pests; , ƒ
The Food and Drugs Act – governs foods, drugs, natural health products,
cosmetics and medical devices sold in Canada; ƒ
The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act – promotes public safety in the
transportation of dangerous goods; ƒ
2. The Fisheries Act – prohibits the deposit of toxic or harmful substances into
fish-frequentedwaters; ƒ
The Canada Labour Code – regulates issues related to OccupationalSafety
and Health; and ƒ various regulations made under these Acts.
One huge aim in big scope of protection and Canadian Lands and People;
which aims to protect human health and the environment through: ƒ setting
priorities and government-imposed administrative timelines for action on
chemicals of concern; ƒ integrating chemicals management activities across
federal departments and choosing the best placed federal statute under
which to take action; ƒ enhancing research, monitoring and surveillance; ƒ
increasing industry stewardship and responsibility for substances; ƒ
collaborating internationally on chemicals assessment and management; and
ƒ communicating to Canadians the potential risks of chemical substances

Elimination List
The CMP, a joint initiative of Environment and Climate Change Canada
(ECCC) and Health Canada, assesses risks posed by chemical substances
and living organisms.
The third phase; Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) and are specified on the
Domestic Substances List.
The substances are currently undergoing a public consultation and will
undergo screening assessments.
Those substances of higher health or environmental concern will go on for
further assessment.
The ecological risk classification used data and models to identify
substances warranting further evaluation,and to describe hazard or potency
parameters used, including:
3. mode of action;
chemical reactivity;
internal toxicity thresholds; and
bioavailability.
Potential exposure of organisms in aquatic and terrestrial environments was
characterised based on:
emission rates;
persistence; and
long-range transport in air.
Substances were assigned to low, moderate or high groups of potential
ecological concern based on hazard and exposure classifications.
Accordingly:
40 substances were classified in the high category;
92 as moderate; and
508 substances as low.
These include such proposed actions as:
explicitly allowing the minister to vary any part of a Snac notice – such as
data requirements and timeframes for submission – not just the new
activities;
providing an explicit downstream notification requirement upon publishing of
a Snac notice for a substance on the DSL, similar to that already required for
a substance not on the list; and
expressly providing for the minister to use interim risk management
measures, including conditions and prohibitions, with respect to a significant
new use of a substance being notified.
The Chemistry Industry Association, the Consumer Specialty Products
Association, the Mining Association of Canada and the Canadian Cosmetic,
Toiletry and Fragrance Association. aspects of the CMP, including that the
program:
4. is risk-based, with decisions being made after taking into account both
hazards and likely exposures;
establishes a scientific prioritization process to examine substances of
higher concern first, factoring in hazard characteristics such as persistence,
bioaccumulation and inherent toxicity;
sets “ambitious yet achievable” timelines, and transparently communicates
progress;
has sufficient flexibility under Cepa to tailor program elements to suit the
needs of a specific task at hand and to evolve over time; and
maintains public credibility by placing the responsibility for risk assessment
and risk management on the government, while considering information from
industry groups.
Since 2006, 2006, Canada’s government has:
