USA has Osha who does Canada have?

Is there laws in place for cranes and Pumps in Canada? Its illegal to boom over or under power lines in the USA right? I am not just talking about ACPA rules I am talking about State or Federal laws. I am sorry I am not clear on the laws, if there are laws and where are those laws. Is there one set or are there a set for the USA and a different set for Canada?

They are welcome to OSHA

We have a few organizations in Ontario. The ones with the most impact are the Ministry of Labour, Electrical Safety Authority and Hydro One. Either of these 3 have the power to just walk in and shut you down regardless. I know cranes have rules but as for my 36Z I have to be at least 15 feet away in any direction. As for going over lines, that is a HUGE NO. Major fines involved there ( If you live to pay them ). The only way to go over lines ( or so I was told ) is if the line has been disconnected with no juice running through it, but that takes an awful pile of planning and coin.

There are Laws for Cranes in place, but minimal if any defined laws for concrete pumps, CSA seems to be in Draft stage for new Concrete Pump Standards.... http://ohs.csa.ca/standards/construction/Concrete_Pumps/Z151.asp

Not asking such a question is ignorance? Pretty rude ay?

damn canadians

eh, not all of us are from toronto

hey todd,  not sure what Osha is but sounds like OH&S (occupational health & safty) and WCB (workers compensation board)  i dont know who told you that its stricter is ca then usa.  they're a joke from my perspective.

I can't even believe you would ask such a question on your board.

I hope your mother washed your mouth out with soap, you hoser. Last time you get any play here, Dudley.
