📋 Tender Overview
Project : PFO-014-07
Project Description : -This is an ongoing program to address the deficiencies outlined in the corporate health and safety audit. Pending initiatives are brought forward as issues arise. Facilities Operations finds itself called upon to resolve Health & Safety matters across the Corporation, with a limited corresponding source of funding. As identified in the recent OMBI performance indicators, Facilities Operations is responsible for providing service to over one million square feet of space among various City owned facilities. This includes ensuring that Health & Safety orders/complaints are followed up in a timely manner. Currently, many orders cannot be absorbed in the various operating budgets. Expectations are that, due to aging municipal facilities, an aging work force and the recent hiring of additional Ministry of Labour work force with respect to enforcing Bill C45, the demand for Health & Safety related replacements will steadily increase. In addition, this program will fund the expenses incurred when Designated Substances, as defined in Ontario Regulation 490/90 of the OH&S Act, are encountered and required to be properly managed in municipal buildings. These substances are sometimes encountered unexpectedly during renovation projects or are discovered through a targeted investigation
