Issues Cited

  • Consumer products regulated under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) are excluded from the requirements of the Hazardous Products Act (HPA)
  • Some stakeholders have expressed concerns with the exclusion of consumer products under the HPA, including: 
  1. Consumer products are increasingly used in the workplace without adequate hazard information for workers to use, handle or store these products safely. 
  2. Current requirements under the HPA are not sufficient to inform workers of hazards posed by consumer products in workplace settings where these products could be used in higher frequency.
