What the law says
In Quebec, the ROHS and the Safety Code for the construction industry require fall protection, and equipment must meet CSA Z259 standards. In Ontario, construction workers must complete a Working at Heights program approved by the Ministry of Labour (O. Reg. 297/13); this course does not replace it.
