BOOK 7 TRAINING
BOOK 7 TRAINING
Each year, workers who are doing their jobs on or near public roads are hurt in accidents involving traffic. Employers must implement a traffic protection plan in accordance with the Ontario Regulations for Construction Projects to ensure the safety of their employees. A specific traffic control strategy that is intended to safeguard both road users and workers must also be designed and made accessible.
The Ontario Traffic Control Book 7 – Temporary Conditions has been revised as of April 2022.
