Always know where you stand. Keep every site inspection-ready. The compliance evidence platform for premises that get inspected.

Our report covers the water-sampling records, operating manuals and daily logs that these cases turned on. For a venue, restaurant or hotel, the same job is keeping maintenance and service records current at every site.

🇨🇦 Ontario environmental convictions can follow missed tests, not spills. A children's summer camp went two months without well-water testing and drew an $11,000 fine. A food processor's $12,000 case centred on an operating manual it couldn't produce.

Ontario announced more OHSA convictions in 2025 than in any year before it. Our briefing follows the three rule changes and what a conviction now costs the business. https://t.co/BIMUui4SQA

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇨🇦 In Ontario, a repeat workplace safety conviction within two years has a $500,000 floor if a worker was killed or seriously hurt. That's six times what these fines usually run. A conviction at any of your locations starts the clock; no court can lower the floor.

Of the 412 review decisions in 2023/24, at most 21 were overturned on appeal. The committee's decision usually stands, so our briefing follows the process before and at the hearing: https://t.co/pWsukwxR9U

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇬🇧 A neighbour can apply for a review of your premises licence even when there's no prosecution. Police still start 49% of reviews, but a growing share now comes from elsewhere. The committee can suspend or revoke your licence.

Our alert also covers the proposed fixed penalties set out in today's outcome (£1,500 below 50 employees; £2,500 at 50 or more) and the retailer guidance still to come. https://t.co/feiYcQZR2E

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇬🇧 Pubs, cafes and restaurants are set to count as retailers under England's under-16 energy-drink ban, alongside shops. The government confirmed the scope today, takeaways and delivery services included, with a start date of 6 April 2027.

What happens at the hearing, and the conditions a committee can attach if the licence survives the review: https://t.co/SEnCweIXgF

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇬🇧 A Horsham restaurant had one illegal worker on a visitor visa. The Home Office issued the operating company a £40,000 civil penalty. It went unpaid, and the council revoked the premises licence. At licensed premises, illegal working doesn't stay an employment problem.

What FL operators are working through between now and 12 November 2026: the SKU audit, distributor conversations, POS retirement, and cocktail-program review. https://t.co/fU60OW0W1Q

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇺🇸 The federal hemp cap arriving 12 November 2026 lands on FL bars as an alcohol-license problem. A typical hemp THC can carries 2 to 10 mg. The new line is 0.4 mg per container, not per serving. On 12 November, SKUs above it no longer qualify as hemp.

The BTR-adjacent fees that were never in either bill, and what 2027 looks like if HB 103 comes back: https://t.co/Kp3TuEPwfZ

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇺🇸 Florida's BTR repeal didn't quietly die in committee. HB 103, the repeal bill, cleared the House before SB 122 stalled in the Senate. Chapter 205 stayed in force. The 2026-27 BTR cycle still opens July 1, with the 25%-capped delinquency penalty on October 1.

How the per-provision counter stacks in a single visit, the four records that keep you off it, and the 30-day clocks that follow: https://t.co/7QKr6DnSfs

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇨🇦 Before 2026, an Ontario fire inspection finding three lapses meant one order to fix. After Jan 1 in adopting municipalities, it means three separate $200 penalty orders on a 30 day clock. Each Fire Code provision has its own counter.

Which LCRB rules actually get enforced, and which sit dormant, across all 254 actual waivers from Feb 2023 to Nov 2025: https://t.co/QWrYqKHhx5

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇨🇦 BC's LCRB has 54 different liquor violations on the books. 157 of 254 enforcement actions over the last three years were for one of them: selling to a minor. The regulator effectively uses about five.

[Duty Room @duty_room]

🇨🇦 BC's liquor penalty schedule sorts most offences by their first-offence floor: $1,000, $3,000 or $7,000. Six others start at $15,000 every time, with no escalation on repeats. Refusing entry to an inspector is one. Each of the three escalating buckets has its own curve:

[Duty Room @duty_room]

The other two punish obstruction: refusing entry to a peace officer (item 43) or the General Manager (44). The floor is $15,000 every time, no escalation. In 2024, JJ's Pub paid a $1,000 catch-all penalty for warning other bars about inspectors.
