This edition of the magazine focuses on: young workers in residential construction, COVID-19 health and safety resources, and more.

The Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA) is providing an information awareness webinar on COVID-19 construction health and safety practices. The session is approximately 45 minutes and includes information on best practices for construction sites as well as the various roles and responsibilities on site with regard to COVID-19.

IHSA had the opportunity to collaborate with Cambrian College in the Women in Welding program. The program is one example of the Ontario government’s recent initiatives to have under-represented groups, such as women and Indigenous students, join the trades.

The Construction Projects regulation (O. Reg. 213/91) outlines the training requirements for workers who use suspended work platform systems (SWPSs).

The Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA) is pleased to announce that both the City of Vaughan and the City of Ottawa will now require contractors to be certified to a recognized Occupational Health and Safety Management system, which includes IHSA's Certificate of Recognition (COR™) program.
