Although the Covid-19 pandemic has brought us into uncharted waters, the National H&S committee has been working very closely with the CRA national OSH office dealing with all issues related to the pandemic since the beginning of this crisis.

A daily conference call has taken place starting March 17, 2020 to present, with myself and my technical advisor, Mathieu Juneau, and David Walsh, Assistant Director, CRA National OSH Office, dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic and the related issues from this pandemic.

There has been a lot of talk in the media and locals lately around the subject of asbestos within Canada Revenue offices and other government buildings. It is important to note that the use of asbestos in buildings was standard practice in the 60s, 70s and 80s and, in some cases, even today. As long as the material is encapsulated, asbestos poses no significant health risk.
