Workers Compensation Board of Prince Edward Island

Fall Protection - Zero Tolerance Campaign launches July 3

June 12, 2012

To prevent injuries and fatalities from workplace falls from heights, fall protection is the law on Prince Edward Island. Violations to the fall protection laws put lives at risk. 

 

On July 3, the Workers Compensation Board (WCB) will begin a Zero Tolerance Campaign against Fall Protection violations. WCB Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Officers will be inspecting Island workplaces for fall protection and strictly enforcing the OHS Act and Regulation.
