The Latex Risk Assessment is a mandatory workplace safety document required under Canadian occupational health and safety legislation for organizations where workers may be exposed to latex materials. This document becomes necessary when latex products are present in the workplace or when there's potential for latex exposure through direct contact, airborne particles, or cross-contamination. The assessment must comply with federal regulations including WHMIS 2015 and the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, as well as applicable provincial standards. It provides a systematic approach to identifying latex hazards, evaluating associated risks, and implementing appropriate control measures. The document is particularly crucial in healthcare settings but applies to any workplace where latex products are used, and must be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in workplace conditions or regulatory requirements.
