Summary of Proposal:
New standards will be implemented to improve Ontario's safety as a result of recommendations from an independent expert panel on propane safety in Ontario.
The expert panel of Dr. Michael Birk and Ms. Susana Katz found that Ontario has a strong propane safety system in place with multiple safeguards, but recommended ways to further improve safety and enhance transparency and accountability.
The report contains 40 recommendations in three broad categories:
New obligations for propane
Stronger enforcement capabilities for the Technical Standards and Safety Authority
Improved training, accountability and transparency
