RESCON releases guide to help builders comply with Ontario AED requirement
AI Article Summary
The Residential Construction Council of Ontario, in collaboration with Smart Safety Solutions, has released a new guide for employers on constructing a policy regarding Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). This guide is intended to aid construction sites that meet the new AED requirements effective January 1. The guide provides a framework for integrating AED safety measures into workplace policies.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
For Canadian builders, this means adapting to new regulatory requirements and ensuring that all work sites with 20 or more workers have the necessary safety protocols, including AEDs. This project shows how regulatory compliance can impact workplace planning and can incur additional costs for safety equipment and training. Implementing these measures may also affect project timelines if not planned properly.
