Know the Law

One book is absolutely essential for what employers and workers need to know about health and safety on site. That's the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations for Construction Projects (Ontario Regulation 213/91).

Regulations covering every aspect of health and safety on construction sites are spelled out in the "green book." Topics range from protective equipment to housekeeping, from confined spaces to traffic control, from ladders and scaffolds to welding and cutting.

Copies are available from Publications Ontario at (416) 326-5300 or
from CSAO at (416) 674-2726 or 1-800-781-2726.
