CConstruction Safety Act
lems of doing ' it proWineially.
Most counties were waiting for
a meeting in Kitchener a couple
of weeks ago, and since then
three have appointed and a
number have applications in
hand""
Mr. Berry: 'Would there be
inspection in the county ,roads
department?"
Mr. McNair: "'Buildings or
other structures, and he would
certainly inspect bridges and
culverts and things like that,
We have suggested that the
roads themselves, unless elevat-
ed, would not normally be in-
spected by an inspector."
Mr. Berry: "If we do not have
an inspector and there is an ac-
cident, are we liable?"
Mr. McNair: "You would have
to ask a lawyer about that-
would hardly think so."
Mr. Berry: "Then the Act is
not mandatory."
Mr. McNair: "It is mandatory
that you appoint an inspector,
and we feel that law-abing citi-
zens will abide by the law."
A councillor: I•"Any subsidy on
salary?"
Mr. McNair: "There is noth-
ing in the Act covering any
grant as such."
A councillor: "What about a
farm barn or building?"
The CQast<ruction Safety Act
of 1962, with its mandatory pro-
vision for appointment of inspec-
tors, came before Huron County
council at its November session
in a presentation by the head of
the construction safety branch,
J. McNair. He described the new
legislation as "an act to pro-
vide for safety of workmen dur-
ing construction or demolition
of buildings and other struc-
tures." Much loss of life and
limb has taken place, he added.
With a trace of Scots accent,
Mr. McNair eased his path by
an early remark that "we in
Toronto" cannot know as much
as you do about local conditions.
Even so, councillors were in-
clined to question closely as to
the merits of the measure.
There will be 10 construction
safety officers appointed by the
province to assist and advise lo-
cal inspectors, Mr. McNair said.
"The inspector is required to
make sufficient periodic inspec-
tion to ensure that the provis-
ions of the Act and its regula-
tions are being carried out," he
explained. "The time depends'
on construction activity within
the area,"
"Would there be one man for
a population of 50,000 in Hur-
on?" asked Reeve Frank Wal-
kom, Goderich. Mr. McNair: "There are three
Difficult to judge fr)in:Tor- exceptions: one where the work
onto," replied Mr. tVIet"air.
"Probably the county engineer is done solely by the owner; the
would give an idea of the second is such as come under
amount of construction d the Mining Act; and the third
boin�
on. In general, one person in a
county would be sufficient, but
you would have to check on
construction. An inspector may
not need to be full time on the
job, but he would need to meet
the qualifications."
Reeve Jewell, Colborne: "Does
the department consider there
are sufficient inspectors with
the qualifications?"
Mr. McNair: "It is not a re-
quirement - perhaps not even
desirable -that the inspector be
25an engineer, Some counties
have appointed an engineer.
Reeve Forbes, Goderich town-
ship. enquired as to Workmen's
Compensation Board safety work
and was informed it was educa-
tional only.
Clerk -Treasurer Berry: "In
rural areas, what type of con-
struction is the inspector sup-
posed to be 'inspecting?"
Mr. McNair: "All projects, in-
cluding housing and alterations,
Four 'or five .people have com-
plained • of conditions on com-
paratively minor projects you
would think nothing could hap-
pen on. The regulations call for
protective clothing. It is not just
on the larger jobs, but there are
inadequate scaffolds, etc., on
quite small jobs.".
Mr. Berry: Does a person mak-
ing alterations to a house have
to have an inspector?" -
Mr. McNair: "An inspector
appointed by. the county would
be able to get information from
the local inspector or council,
and make calls at the proper
time. That is one of the prob-

Year -End Records
Year-end records in loans, de-
posits and resources, plus new
highs in both profits earned and
taxes paid, are all shown in the

was paid in 1960.
An amount of $1,000,000 from
tax -paid inner reserves is. added
to $4,531,938 in undivided pro-
fits, for a total of $5,531,938,
and of this, $4,150,000 is trans-
ferred to the rest account, now

is any farm buildings used for
farming purposes'."
'Engineer Britnell: "The in-
spector is not to supervise or in-
spect material?"
Mr. McNair: "No. the purpose
is to provide for the safety of
workmen. Indirectly it could be
of benefit financially; there is
paid out annually in compensa
tion $10,000,000."
When a building is finished,
he said, the Factory, Shop and
Office Inspection Act applies.
Reeve Leiper, Hullett: "Has
the inspector power to stop
work until conditions are
brought up to standard?"
Mr. McNair: "Yes, he can 1sr
sue a stop -work order. What we
are seeking is not merely man-
datory compliance with appoint-
ment of an inspector, but what
we would like from you is your
support and encouragement in
carrying dirt the intent of the
Act, to provide for the safety of
workmen."
