Will these records be available to, individual workers, health and safety! committees and worker ,representatives? I should like, to report further on this legislation next week. by JACK RIIESL/ELLM.F.P,. ,During . the past session, there was .considerable debate on Bill 70 the Occupational 'Health_ and Safety Act, one of the most IMportant pieces of legislatil3n to. vine before "the LogiStaTlii • in. recent years,!, hi the past, many Liberal Members have challenged. the government con. its inaction in ' this -area.' We babe. suggested major amendments fq strengtheh 'existing -legislation ••to improve employee protection in... the province ..artiendnients Which Would not involve expenditure of. additional funds or endanger the employment of a workers, She had' stated that dispassionate consideratien has convinced' the government that expansion of coverage would be inappropriate althis time. What` more 16'gical. time, is there to consider expanSion of coverage , than, ,0 when introducing 'Suppksedly comprehensive ' legislation on this subject? tit Our view the legislation. is lacking with respect to the - involvement of both employers and employees in achieving high standards of health and safety at vyprk. Uni. Bill 139, the Minister was 'empoWered to establish health and' safety committees, -composed of- an equal number of employee and employer representatives', 'and to appoint worker safety repre- sentatives. To our knowledge,• the Minister has not appointed a single such committee or _repre- sentative. We fer'. these committees would be particularly important for .,, non,:nnion employeers, who may have no other 'effective charmer-or Com- eXpos d" to hazardous ances suckasyesticides and laboratory clieMicaisd as well as, dangerous work_practices. taSame American authorities , have suggested tbat•farming has :the third highest accident rate of any occupation,"exceeded only by mining and constritction. Of course, special, circumstances apply to the „agricultural ecimmunity vith -aspect to weather conditions, seasonal work, long hours'during peak periods and 'machinery Etrid equipment 'designed and • manufactured to different staVdards. For • example; apparently detailed regulations now in effect for industrial machinery •and equipment simply do not exist for th,e agricultural , sector. Last Januaty,, the. Minister promised that ' an agricultural representa- tive would be appointed to the advisory council' on occupational health and.aafety - almost a year •later this was done. In joint briefs to the Minister, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Farm Safety Association and tht 'Ontario -Fruit and Vegetable GroW.ers Association generall?sepnorted an extension Of health ,and safety-legislation to agridulture, -provided, that it is ,developed by the Minister in ;consultationAvvith the agricultural advisciry. committee. we have munication with theiremployer, and that the powers of health and safety committees and worker safety representatives are"Mlear and inadequate, These ,groups should„„,,have access' to both information and training froth the occuaptional health and safety division of the Ministry or other sources. Thus there would be more reliance,on accurate on-site monitoring and les% reliance on inspection by the Ministry of Labour. . On:site discussions, inspec- tions and.recommenclations may not be sufficient in some,cates. Perhaps there sliould be "Some T'meehanism linking therelOof the joint .committees, and safety representatives with ,and activities --of the Ministry. In the event that an employer refuses tdaceept.the recommendations of .a joint committee or--a safety represen- t' ive, perhaps an inspection from the Ministry ofLabour within a short time, possibly three days could be made obligatory.
