OHSA Regulation 851, Section 72
72. (1) Where a structure is damaged to the extent that a collapse of the structure or any part of the structure is likely to occur and cause injury to a worker,
(a) the structure shall be braced and shored to prevent the collapse of the structure; or
(b) effective safeguards shall be provided to prevent access to the area. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 851, s. 72 (1).
(2) The bracing and shoring or other safeguards prescribed by subsection (1) shall be installed progressively to ensure that a worker installing the bracing and shoring or other safeguards is not in danger. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 851, s. 72 (2).
Structural Upgrade Engineering
Our structural engineering team combines an in-depth understanding of engineering principles, technological opportunities, construction processes, in-service use and regulatory frameworks – all of which are brought together in order to collaborate with our clients on a solution that satisfies each of these criteria.
Our structural engineers produce designs for new builds and retrofits that not only ensure successful solutions, but optimise the construction process and minimize maintenance costs along the way.
