In Ontario there is a legal requirement to perform a Pre-Start Health and Safety Review (“PHSR”) in situations where a machine or process is installed or modified, and one or more prescribed circumstances exist. In most circumstances, the PHSR must be performed by a licensed Ontario Professional Engineer. And, most of those circumstances require the Professional Engineer to evaluate the adequacy of planned machine and process safeguarding, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and consensus technical standards. Understanding the “who, what, when, where, why and how” of PHSRs is important for prevention of harm to workers, and essential for compliance with regulatory obligations.

Obtain an essential understanding of:

• when a PHSR is, and is not required

• the application of Section 7 of the Industrial Establishment Regulation (O.Reg. 851) to processes and hardware provisions of the OHS Act and regulations relevant to conducting PHSR

• skill sets needed for a PHSR team

• how to establish systems and procedures within your organization to conduct PHSRs on an "in-house" basis
