A Designated Substance Report (DSR) is a requirement when renovating or demolishing a building. The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act requires a list of all designated substances to be provided to any contractors bidding on construction projects involving existing buildings.

Locations and concentrations of designated substances are also included in the report.
