We have recently been notified that there is a new CSA Standard for Management of Impairment in the Workplace.
This Standard describes requirements for a system-wide control of the health and safety risks related to impairment while recognizing the impacts of impairment on individual workers. CSA Z1008:21 also provides guidance on how organizations can reduce the impacts of impairment in the workplace.
CSA Z1008:21 was developed with support from the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Law - Occupational Safety and Health (CAALL-OSH), including Provincial and Territorial Governments, as well as the Government of Canada.
AMHSA will look for opportunities to host an awareness session on this Standard for membership who have interest in learning more and how it can potentially compliment your existing Health and Safety Management Systems.
