Where We’re Going

The Commission is in its third and final year of renewal. Although the renewal period may be coming to a close—the Commission has embarked upon a new era. We have shaped a new vision and principles with our Blueprint and we are building a solid foundation through our Workplan. All future Commission work will be benchmarked against these new standards and must address these principles:

• We are committed to assisting industry in achieving early compliance with the WHMIS requirements. It follows that early compliance means that workers have accurate health and safety information in a timely fashion and this results in a safer workplace. We are dedicated to providing service that is better and faster, and to doing our job at a fair and reasonable cost.
• The year ahead will again be a very productive one, as the Commission focuses on the Workplan action items. Some of the action items we are currently working on involve consultation with stakeholders: proposed changes to the appeals process and dispute resolution options; formalizing and implementing the policy development process; development of service standards; and in some cases proposed statutory/regulatory amendments to implement the changes outlined in the Blueprint for Change.
• The Workplan will be substantially completed this year—we are committed to its achievement.
