How an Appeal is Filed
What Can Be Appealed?
Claimants and affected parties have the right to appeal the decisions and orders of the Hazardous Materials
Information Review Commission’s screening officers (for further information please see
How a Claim is Processed). An appeal can relate to:
- decisions on the validity of a claim for exemption;
- decisions or order on the compliance of a material safety data sheet (MSDS) or label;
-
an application for the disclosure in confidence, for reasons of health and safety in a workplace, of
information in respect of which a claim for exemption is made.
The procedure for dealing with appeals and conducting appeal hearings is established by the Hazardous
Materials Information Review Act Appeal Board Procedures Regulations enacted pursuant to Paragraph
48(1)(c) of the Hazardous Materials Information Review Act.
Who Can File an Appeal?
An appeal can be filed by either:
-
a claimant (a supplier or employer who makes a claim for exemption under the Hazardous Materials
Information Review Act); or
-
an affected party, as defined in subsection 2(2) of the Hazardous Materials Information Review
Regulations.
