Abstract These Regulations (replacing Alberta Regulation 8/82 on chemical hazards), which came into effect on 15 Mar. 1989, incorporate amendments up to and including Alberta Regulation 15/89. They cover the OSH provisions relevant to work involving harmful and controlled substances. Provisions of general application: exposure to substances by inhalation; measurement of airborne concentrations of harmful substances; employer's duties in case of excess exposure; alternative means of determining compliance; removal of contamination; prohibition of eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas; codes of practice for dangerous substances; procedures, training and instruction relating to dangerous substances; skin and eye protection; designated substances; identification and storage. Provisions concerning controlled products: definitions; obligations of employers concerning use, storage, handling, manufacture, worker education, labelling, identification, supply of MSDS, medical emergencies and confidentiality. Two annexes: one on definitions relating to exposure limits, with two exposure limit lists (substances and dusts), the other on the classification of substances mentioned in articles 9 and 12.
