The Ministry of Labour (MOL) has formally withdrawn all Engineering Data Sheets
(EDSs). They are no longer available for purchase. Similar technical information
can be obtained from standards, codes and regulations.
Engineering Data Sheets were prepared as a resource to assist workplace parties
in understanding some of their obligations under the Occupational Health and
Safety Act (OHSA) and the regulations. They were not intended to replace the
OHSA or the regulations; reference should always be made to the official version
of the legislation.
It is the responsibility of workplace parties to ensure compliance with the
legislation. The Engineering Data Sheets did not constitute legal advice. As
always, if you require assistance with respect to the interpretation of the legislation
and its potential application in specific circumstances, please contact your legal
counsel.
