DESIGNATED SUBSTANCES

The Occupation Health and Safety Act defines 11 designated substances which are subjected to individual government regulations. It is mandatory to conduct a designated substance survey prior to the start of any renovation or construction project in order to identify if any designated substances are present and may be potentially disturbed by work of the project. The 11 designated substances include:

Asbestos
Lead
Silica
Mercury
Arsenic
Benzene

Although not considered “Designated Substances”, mould and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are subjected to similar guidelines and are often treated in a parallel fashion.
