| MOL Campaign: Fall Hazards |
Starting mid-January, the Ministry of Labour (MOL) will conduct a ”Heightened Enforcement Campaign on Fall Hazards” with a zero-tolerance approach to non-compliance.
MOL inspectors will check for all fall hazards including those from suspended platforms at construction sites. They will also look for appropriate fall-protection equipment and evidence of worker training.
To download an MOL hazard alert on suspended work platforms, go to:
