Safeguarding Workers The Coderb Signai-St huoday, June 2, 1 Safety Branch Hai Important One of the most important and vital branches of the. On, tario ` Dep ;tnient of Labor' is the Constructiyii Safety Branch. It is charged 'viiith the respons- ibility of safeguarding workers on all Reonstruetion . projects throughout the Province. The Branch was established in July, 1962, with the appoint- ment of -James McNair, P.Eng., an Engineer and Chief Officer. Mr. McNair was transferred from the Engineering Services Branch where he had been ,in the service of the Department from January, 1957. R. Keith Cleverdon, P.Eng„ was appointed Construction Saf- ety , Supervisor, number two Brandi position, on July 22, 1963. He had previously spent six years in the contracting ,and construction industry. The main duty of the Branch is to administer and enforce the Construction Safety Act and, its Regulations and the Trench Excavators' Protection Act and its Regulations. In April, 1963, the special "Underground Work" Regula- tion, covering the safety 'of workers in shafts, tunnels, cof- fer dams, caissons and in com- pressed air, was also placed within the jurisdiction of • the Branch. (Inspection work b this connection had .previously been carried out by the old Factory Inspection Branch). , Thus, all activities relating to 'construction safety Were eQn- solidated in one, Branch. Important Branch functions are performed by ten Construc- tion Safety Officers, three work- ing 'out of the head office in Toronto at 126Q Bay street and one Toronto each of the following district ekes and centres: Ham- ilton, Kingston, Kitchener, Lon- don, Ottawa, Port Arthur and Sudbury. Safety Officers in the field perform advisory and instrue- tional duties, providing guid- ance, advice and ,assistance to municipally appointed inspect- ors carrying out inspections of construction projects. Through regular visits to each municipal- ity during which interpretation and policy matters are discuss- ed and explained they also ac- company the inspectors on a goodly portion of their inspec- tions. ' Municipal inspectors are re- quired, under the Acts, to be appointed by counties; cities and certain other large muni- cipalities. Their functions in- clude checking work in progress PEPSI -CO PRESENTS 6. and isinga Orden., to correct contraventions of ' the Regula. tions. These are over .300 such inspectors enforcing the Con, struction Safety Act and over 900 enforcing the Trench Rxcav ators' Protection. Act. • Port Arthur and- "Sudbury Safety Officers while perform- ing the same duties, as outlined above, are also solely respon- sible for inspections of projects in municipalities with less than 5,000 population and areas with no municipal organization where the Acts do rot require muni- cipally -appointed inspectors. Toronto-based Safety Officers cover Peel, York, Simcoe, On- tario and Victoria counties, the district of Muskoka and Metro Toronto. 0, Responsibility Under the Construction Saf- ety Act and Re uiatigns, care, ful inspections" arecarried out at frequent but irregular inter. vols. • At no time •are .employers in charge of construction pro- jects advised in advance of in. speotion dates,, . - Painstaking care is • token to detect and , eliminate every haz- ard to the safety and health of workers on the projects. Among the items checked during an inspection are barricades, brac- ing, machinery, stacking of ma- terials, and personal protective .clothing and equipment. Pro- per sanitation, fire protection, first aid feciiities, have to be, supplied and maintained. saf- ety officers and inspectors also check such heavy construction equipment as power driven cranes and ensure that the oper- ators have Department"of Lab hoisting certificates. Investigate Accidents One major and vital. duty of Construction Safety Officers is investigating accidents and com- plaints, taking immediate and appropriate action as indicated. They also perform public rela- tions and promotional duties* as well as provide technical and advisory services to municipal- ities, construction companies and others respecting specific problems as they arise. Thus, 'they influence municipal: offic- ials to make necessary inspec- toral appointments, and pro- mote maximum co-operation ind support -from municipal, officials' in enforcing the Acts and Regu- lations. MONEY! Rent The Money From CRESCENT This Spring • Under they Trench Excavators' Protection Act and Regulations, methods and materials used iL shoring, scaffolding, • ladders, guards and' protective clothing are some of the many items carefully examined , by inspect- ors and safety officers. Particu- lar attention is paid to danger- ous gases wh;ch .may 'be en- countered. Adequate ventila- tion, and respiratory protective equipment must be supplied _and maintained. - Under Section II' of The De- partment of Labor Act, Safety Officers, like all inspectors of the Departme,rit, are empower- ed to stop work because 'of un- ss\s working conditions, per- mitting , work to be resumed only when given adequate proof that the condition has been completely reetified. They ex- esicis'e4eoffsideilble freedain and flexibility in performing these duties under the Acts, which place responsibility for work- men's safety primarily on em- ployers and :'heir supervisory staffs. During 1965, municipal–oHTc- iais conducted approximately 110,000 inspections, accompan- ied an almost 5,000 by Branch staff -mernbers. These resulted in issuance of approximately 7,000 orders' to comply, 1,100 "stop- work" orders and 100 charges 'beigg laid and prose- cuted.

Branch assumed ' underground inspection duties, morethan 80,000 decompressions of . super- visort and workmen have been carried out, only 17 cases of the "bends" being reported -,ran ex- tremely low figure. In this con- nection a ratio of one incident of bends to 100 decompressions is not uncommon—the actual Ontario ratio was better than one to 4,700, indicating the thoroughness of the inspecting and the efficiency of the Branch's staff. Law enforcement must be based do knowledge. With this in mind in March and April of 1964, Branch staff members con- ducted Construction Safety Act seminars in Toronto and seven other Ontario centres. There was almost 100 per cent attend - ance by municipal construction: safety inspectors, the general concensus being that a great deal --was -accomplished–in:- -.-_ thering safety education. - The success of the seminars triggered plans for an ail-aut assault .on the pressing and ever- present problem of maintaining safety on construction projects. In the near,future, plans–will be finalized • nd announced for a comprehensive series of one - day meetings, at strategic points throughout the Province, to be attended by, upwards of 1,000 Trench Inspectors in 939 muni cipalities. Also scheduled is . a repeat of the successful Con- struction Safety Act Seminars of 1964. ,5J READY -MIXED CONCtETE For Steps, Sidewalks, floors, Walls Barnyards, Etc.
