O. Reg. 213/91, s. 23 (1). (2) Protective footwear shall be a safety shoe or safety boot, Green triangle Omega symbol

Ontario Regulation 851 Industrial Establishments states:

82. A worker exposed to the hazard of foot injury shall wear foot protection appropriate in the circumstances. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 851, s. 82.


12

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – Head Protection

Ontario Regulation 851 Industrial Establishments states: 80. A worker exposed to the hazard of head injury shall wear head protection
