The Ministry of Labour (MOL) will be conducting a health and safety blitz on heavy equipment operations across the province beginning October 1st. The blitz will focus primarily on inspection and maintenance of crane operations, as well as on safe operation and storage, but will also include other pieces of heavy equipment. In conjunction with the MOL, IHSA’s Civil Engineering Sector Labour-Management Committee developed the attached health and safety advisory that can be helpful during the blitz. This advisory is designed to help employers, equipment operators, and those working nearby to understand the hazards involved when working with any type of heavy equipment and to learn how to control those hazards. Please see attached for more information.
