Mercury in Thermostats

Hi there,

We have found some old mercury thermostats still in use. We don’t otherwise have any designated substances. I didn’t see any Designated Substance support information on OHSInsider and was wondering if having such thermostats in use would trigger the need to develop a control program?

Thanks for your time.

Probably not but it depends. Can you give me a bit more information about the equipment and the amount of mercury involved. It would also help to know what industry and province/jurisdiction you’re in. If you want, you can send me the info directly on Gmail at glennd@bongarde.com. Thanks.
