Radon gas levels at Ontario hatchery prompt action from Ministry of Labour

摘要

An employee's complaint about working conditions at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's (MNRF) Dorion Fish Culture Station prompted an investigation by the Ministry of Labour. As a consequence the hatchery has been given orders tomeet guidelines for managing radon gas. Labour ministry spokesperson Janet Deline provided a list of the eight orders issued to the hatchery late last fall. These include a requirement to submit a compliance plan and conduct long-term monitoring, and to ensure personnel are given information and instruction about the gas.
