26.2 (1) states,
“An employer shall ensure that a worker who may use a fall protection system is adequately trained in its use and given adequate oral and written instructions by a competent person.”
(2) states,
“The employer shall ensure that the person who provides the training and instruction referred to in subsection (1) prepares a written training and instruction record for each worker and signs the record.”
As promised, I will spell out the main points for the Fall Protection requirements for the Construction Regulation 213/91. Section 26 of that regulation has 9 separate sub-sections which need to be properly identified and addressed.
The information is extensive so I have decided to have a 9 day feature series discussing each part in detail.
