Innovation is our Tradition
Balancing industrial competitive advantage with worker safety
That tradition began 20 years ago with the creation of the Commission itself, a unique agency with a vital role: to safeguard Canadian workers who handle hazardous materials and to protect the trade secrets of companies that manufacture and distribute chemical products for use in workplaces.
HMIRC's progress in 2008-09 demonstrates this innovative spirit. Building on the momentum of the previous year, the Commission made major strides in developing and operationalizing regulatory amendments, reducing the backlog of claims for exemption, reinventing its workforce development strategy and practices, and strengthening its relationships with stakeholders.
