A tarped scaffold is a sail. Hoarding raises wind load on the ties.

Redo tie-in spacing when the tarps go up, get the plan from the supplier or designer, re-tag after high winds.

Frozen ground held your crane at 7 a.m. Thawed ground might not at noon.

Thawing ground can look firmer than it is. Check the ground every setup, centre every float on its pad, recheck level when temps swing.

Lift planning built into your hazard assessment:

Alberta's OHS Code is under review again.

On the table for 2025 to 2026: Part 36 (Mining), Part 40 (Utility Workers, Electrical), exposure limits (OELs) and how the Code references technical standards.

No dates announced. The last two groups took effect March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2025.

Serious incident or potentially serious incident? In Alberta, OHS Act s.33 treats them differently: one's a call to OHS as soon as possible, the other a report after you investigate. Know which is which. #AlbertaSafety #OHS

A worker died after a fall inside a wind turbine in Quebec on Sept 27. Cause under investigation. If your crews climb, who brings a hurt worker down, and have they practised it? #FallProtection

Working alone on a lease road this winter? Alberta OHS Code Part 28 needs a hazard assessment, an effective way to communicate and regular check-ins. #WorkingAlone #AlbertaSafety
