Your CSAM has been advised that Workplace Safety and Health Officers will be in Brandon April 17-19 to verify proper signage for construction projects. Please check your work site to be sure the following information is posted.
In the event that a sign with identifying and pertinent site information is not posted at the construction project site, workers or persons entering the site may not be aware of who to contact with a safety and health concern. In the event of an emergency, workers may not be able to locate first aid equipment or supplies without adequate signage.
Part 2.18 of MB Regulation 217/2006:
The prime contractor, or if there is no prime contractor, the employer, must ensure that the following information is clearly and prominently identified on a sign located in a conspicuous place at a construction project site:
(a) the name of the prime contractor or the employer, as applicable;
(b) the location of any first aid service;
(c) the name and telephone number of the person who can be contacted about safety and health matters at the site; and
