Marni Tivy
Ministry of Labour Health and Safety Policy Regulatory Updates
Marni is a Senior Policy Advisor with the Ministry of Labour’s Health and Safety Policy
Branch.
She has extensive work experience in the area of occupational health and safety policy and
regulation development as well as practical experience in the application of the legislation.
Marni began her career with the Ministry as an Industrial Health and Safety Inspector and
has worked on a wide variety of health and safety projects during her career with the
Ministry.
She is the lead advisor on the Ministry’s recent consultations on proposed changes to
occupational exposure limits, new construction occupational health initiatives and the
Ministry’s all-sector regulatory proposal with respect to noise.
Marni holds a Masters of Engineering from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of
Science from Queen’s University.
The Ministry of Labour is proposing to strength health and safety of workers with some new
regulatory proposals. For example one proposal will address exposure to noise, biological and
chemical agents and carbon monoxide release from internal combustion engines in the construction
sector. Building on the Ministry's proposal to introduce noise requirements for construction workers,
this package proposes to further extend noise protection requirements to all remaining Ontario
workplaces, under the OHSA that are not covered by the Industrial, Oil and Gas-Offshore and
Mining Plants regulations.

Foreign bodies in the eye can be disabling, painful and totally preventable. It’s important to take care
of our eyes and ensure that our vision lasts a lifetime. Stacy will review the most common types of
eye injuries, explore why these occur and show some recommended practices and eyewear that can
reduce or eliminate eye injuries in many cases.

presentation will address tick bites and Lyme Disease in Ontario. Covering what Lyme disease is,
how to prevent tick bites when working outdoors, how to remove a tick, recognizing blacklegged

Vaccination have been around for a long time and most people have received a vaccination at one
or more points in their life. However, this has usually been somewhat of a personal choice. Recently
some companies and institutions have made being vaccinated for certain biological agents
mandatory. This presentation will look at both the pros and cons of instituting a mandatory
vaccination policy as well as the worker’s rights.

program.

WHMIS and GHS Update
The Ministry of Labour is proposing to amend selected provisions of the Occupational Health and
Safety Act (OHSA) that set out duties related to the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information
System (WHMIS), and to amend certain requirements in the WHMIS Regulation made under the
OHSA.
The proposed amendments are part of a broader national and international initiative to implement a
world-wide system of classifying and providing information about hazardous workplace chemicals,
known as the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). A
number of jurisdictions are in the process of implementing the GHS, including the United States,
Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, China, Japan and South Korea.
This is your opportunity to learn about amendments to WHMIS and the OHSA and how they will
affect you. In addition, you will have the opportunity to get answers to questions and issues of most
concern to you.
