Bottom Line
The Ministry of Labour announced a safety inspection blitz that
will run from July 15 to August 30, 2019. During this period,
targeted inspections will be undertaken in workplaces operating in
the retail, restaurant, food, beverage, hospitality, and
recreational services sectors. Inspections will reportedly be
focused on the safety of new workers and summer students.

In addition to taking all standard proactive measures to
safeguard the health and wellbeing of workers, employers operating
in any of the targeted sectors should take extra precaution to
ensure compliance with established safety requirements and
regulations.
