Occupational Health And Safety: Safety Law

Construction Sites Dept: Minister of Employment and Immigration Thomas Lukaszuk, who is also responsible for the office of Occupational Health and Safety OHS , said the extra visits have already begun and will continue at least until the end of October, according to CBC. "I strongly recommend that employers and workers on commercial construction sites ensure they fully understand occupational health and safety law and apply it where they work," said Lukaszuk and the provincial government has boosted the number of inspections at commercial construction sites in response to a spike in safety breaches in the last year. Inspectors are focusing on projects five storeys and higher in major urban centres during the blitz, enforcing all aspects of OHS law, including the safe securing of construction material, the province said in a release. As reported in the news.
