Commission Renewal: Blueprint for Change — Workplan

Program Renewal and Reform

The Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission is taking a leadership role in program improvement. We are moving beyond organizational assessment to turn our program objectives, stakeholder interests and our strategic plan, Commission Renewal: Blueprint for Change, into action. We are adopting a business attitude that focuses on performance and strategic partnerships, while maintaining and preserving our key values and operating principles.

As an organization embracing change, we aim to deliver our mandate and achieve our mission through the establishment of three new business lines. To accomplish this, we are acting to re-define the organization into three core program areas:

1. MSDS Compliance Program
2. Client Services Program
3. Dispute Resolution Program

These changes, and the action plans implemented within each of these programs, are designed to provide our stakeholders with better and faster service. Unique in nature, the three business lines utilize individual processes and approaches in response to the different roles they are mandated to carry out. The creation of these new business lines represents a positive and pragmatic step towards modernizing our services and meeting our stakeholders’ changing needs.

The following sections of the Workplan detail the three core program areas, the design principles upon which they have been established and the plans through which each program will strive to turn commitment, ideas and recommendations into action.
