Ladder Use in Construction Guideline

Workers on construction sites continue to fall from ladders and become critically injured or killed. The Provincial Labour-Management Health and Safety Committee (PLMHSC) has prepared a guideline on safe ladder use in construction to assist workplace parties in understanding their obligations under the OHSA and its regulations. The Ministry of Labour views the guideline as a recommended set of industry best practices that may be used as part of an employer’s health and safety program.

OBOA Strategic Plan 2012+
(OVERVIEW)
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ontario Building Officials Association, I am pleased to announce that our association now has a strategic plan to guide its decision-making and operations over the coming years. The chart found in the centrefold of this publication lays out the core of the Plan that was unanimously approved by the Board in August 2011. The core consists of the vision, mission, strategic priorities and strategic goals of the Plan. It reflects what we heard from association members, Chapters and external stakeholders in the consultations conducted in Spring 2011. The unanimous support of the Board demonstrates a strong belief that the Plan sets the stage for OBOA to achieve its full potential and take Ontario’s building official profession to the next level.
