CCPSA Updates December 2013

/ Health Canada Regulations, Product Safety / By

Here are some updates that I have received regarding CCPSA (Canadian Consumer Product Safety Act as of December 2013.

With the coming into force of the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act on June 20th 2011, the Consumer Product Safety Program (Program) identified the need to establish a risk assessment framework.  The purpose of this Risk Assessment Framework is to provide clarity and guidance to internal and external stakeholders on the principles and processes associated with risk assessment in the Program and to support a risk based approach to determine where the Program should focus its attention.  This framework provides a foundation for consistent assessment of risks in a manner that is systematic, structured and based on the best available evidence.  The Framework establishes  a basis for decision-making on human health or safety risks posed by products.

Please find attached a working draft of the Health Canada Consumer Product Safety Program draft Risk Assessment Framework for your information and review.  You are invited to submit feedback to [email protected] by January 30, 2014.

Please find here PDF copies of the risk assessment document for you to download in ENGLISH and FRENCH.

If you wish to post comments or ask questions on these draft document, please do so before January 30th 2014 using the form below.

I hope that you find this information helpful.

CMYK Solutions works with our partners to continually verify that the products that we support meet current safety regulations in Canada.

We believe that by taking these extra steps when designing, developing and implementing promotional marketing programs we reduce both the risk of injury to those who receive the product and the risk of liability to those implementing the program.

We have seen, through watching the experience of others, that spending a little less in the beginning can have enormous costs both financially and reduced brand capital in the long run.

The SILVER option is designed for companies on a limited budget or who would like to try the power of the Communicate Your Why program before committing.

It provides you with a reasonable amount of shareable content and access to our network. However, for most companies, this may not provide a full year's worth of marketing materials. If you purchase a SILVER package and decide to upgrade within 30 days of the airing of your episode, we will credit 90% of the SILVER package towards either a GOLD or PLATINUM package.

Our expectation is that we will release your episode within 30 days of the recording date.

The GOLD option is a basic yearly marketing package.

Optimally, you would release an episode quarterly and use the content that accompanies it to update your marketing on a quarterly basis. It is literally four times the amount of marketing materials as the SILVER option and allows you to not only tell your story but create a case studies with clients or talk about specific ways you add value to your clientele in a non-sales way. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and a more robust version of your brand story.

Our expectation is that we will release your episodes quarterly.

The PLATINUM option is designed as a monthly marketing package

It gives you the content you desire to stay top of mind with your clients and prospects, talk about ongoing developments and tell a more robust story. Again, if you purchase a GOLD package and decide to upgrade to a PLATINUM one within 90 days of starting the original GOLD package, we will credit 90% of the original purchase price towards the price of the PLATINUM option. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and more robust version of your brand story.

Our expectation is that we will release your episodes monthly.
