Mpp Huron A tr.t:ging package, developed.to educate -workers about hazardous ,materials. in the workplace, has-been unvciled.by Ontario Labour Minister Greg Sorbara. The package was prepared as a result of amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act andtis de- signed- to assist employers in meeting the requirements of legislation which conics into effect on October 3.1, 198.8. Under the legislation, Ontario. becomes a partner in the new na- tional. Workplace Hazardous Materials Infornfation System (WI-IMIS). The WHMIS requires the:uniform labelling of all hazard- - ous azard--ous workplace materials and the .creation of material safety -data sheets. Amendments to the Occupational health and Safety Act require all employers to -provide training- for employees working with, or in proximity to, hazardous materials so that they know -the danger and are able to deal with emergencies: - "The package Will serve as a basic educational tool for employers and employees, and contains training modules dealing with the \VlIMIS -regulations, information delivery, basic occupational health, control, -and emergency," Mr. Sorbara said. Coordinated by the Ministry of Labour- and the Occupational !leant' and Safety Education Authority of the Workers' Compensa- tion Board, the training -package has been developed as a joint effort by employer safety associations and the Workers Health and Safety Centre.- - - The .development of 'the training materials and 'the training of \\'HMIS instructors who will deliver programs across the province have both been funded by the Ministry of Labour.,. "Labour, management and the -government want to ensure that On- tario workers and employers have access to a comprehensive training program that can be adapted to any:workplace," Mr. Sorbara added." Where -a workplace lacks facilities for formal training, employers and cmployccs will be able to take advantage of courses offered at the community level." T- he training package can be ordered by contacting the Occupational Health and Safety Education Authority at (416) 927-4175, any safety association; or the Workers' Occupational Health and Safety Centre at the.Ontario Federation of Labour in Toronto. . - - • Industrial training receives boost Fifty four of Ontario's Community Industrial Training Commit- tees have.becn awarded almost S2 million for operating costs, Skills Development Minister Alvin Curling has announced. A further S400,000.has been given to twenty-nine Committees to conduct la- bour market surveys which will help determine local training_ needs. -As autonomous.organizations funded by provincial and federal gov- ernments and made up of volunteers from business, industry, labour, government and education, the Community Industrial Training Com- mittees identify arid respond to local training needs. • "The industrial training committees are -valuable resources in iden- tifying local training issues and needs. The contribution of commit-, tee members is an important factor in establishing training priorities across the province,`' Mr. Curling said. Conducting local surveys on training needs, recommending train- ing course content, and acting as resource centres for skilled workers seeking upgrading are some of the activities of these Committees. "The main goal of the Skills Development Ministry is to foster a first rate training systent that is secondt� none and compares favour- ably with those of our international competitors. This can only be ..accomplished through -successful partnerships with all parties such as Community Industrial Training Committees," Mr. Curling added. Grants to riding Minister of Health Elinor Caplan has announced a one-time special Employment Equity grant to Seaforth Community Hospital. A grant of S3,500 plus reimbursement of consultant expenses up to SI,000 will assist the hospital in undertaking a review of hospital policies, employment systems, recruitment and hiring practices and access to staff training and development opportunities. The town of Godcrich will receive a municipal road subsidy in thc amount of S40,000 for work on Suncoast Drive West from the Min- istry of -Transportation. This is in addition to the regular.granLs.pro- vidcd by the Ministry.
