The July 1, 2014 deadline is quickly approaching.  Employers in Ontario have two months to ensure that their workers and supervisors complete "basic occupational health and safety awareness training" before the deadline.

Our February 25, 2014 article set out "what you need to do" to comply with this new requirement.  Our April 3, 2014 article set out various strategies for employers as to how to provide this training.

In this article, we will provide updates and address a number of questions that have recently arisen, including who has to take this training and how employers can continue to ensure that they are compliant with the requirements of this Regulation even after their current workforce is trained.
