Are YOU Ready For Bill 190?
New regulations took effect on July 1, 2025, requiring Ontario employers and constructors to implement significant changes in how they manage and report employee washroom cleanliness. These requirements were introduced in two phases:
Phase 1
Phase 2
As of January 1st, 2026, employers are required to keep, maintain, and make all records of washroom cleaning accessible to employees. Records must be posted in or near all employee washrooms in a noticeable location, or posted electronically with clear instructions on how employees can access them.
How To Be Compliant
Compliance doesn’t have to be complicated. CleanWatch™ is a simple‑to‑install, intuitive digital interface that makes maintaining and accessing washroom cleaning records easier.
CleanWatch™ uses QR codes to track and consolidate all employee washroom cleaning activity. Staff simply scan a QR code to sign off once a washroom has been cleaned, creating a digital record with the date and time of service.
Employees can then scan the same QR code to view the most recent cleaning records.
Employers can access all cleaning records from a smartphone or desktop, helping ensure washrooms are maintained in line with established cleaning schedules.
