Executive Summary:

Background:

Background: Beginning in 2017 a practice was established involving a two-pronged approach to reporting to City Council when involvement occurs between the MOL and the Corporation. In instances when intervention by the MOL results in orders being issued, a report is provided to City Council at that time. For all other instances resulting in MOL involvement, a summary report is brought to Council twice a year in which an overview of each MOL Field Report is noted for the last six months.

The following is a summary of the Field Reports issued to the Corporation for the timeframe from July 1st to December 31st 2019:

1 – On July 8th 2019 a field visit was conducted by the MOL at the 350 City Hall Square site to consult with corporate representatives in regard to training provided to Building Inspectors as it relates to asbestos awareness training and protocols for site investigations as it relates to the presence of asbestos containing materials. During this site visit corporate representatives confirmed that the Corporation has an existing asbestos awareness training program and provided training records to confirm compliance with training requirements for this employee group for the period from 2012 through to 2019.
