Fertilizer Canada has released a technical bulletin to provide guidance on the major changes coming into effect and to provide clarity on changes to audited requirements of the Fertilizer Canada Codes of Practice. Read more for details.
In general, changes have been made to the following key areas of the Regulations:
- Consolidation and modification of Schedule 1
- Conditions for notice of substance at a facility and development of an environmental emergency plan
- Frequency of environmental emergency plan simulation exercises
