Federal Impact Assessment

A fixed assembly of rails, brackets, and a climbing sleeve that prevents a worker from falling off a vertical ladder. Subcontractors are often required to install or inspect these systems before crews access elevated structures. Compliance with provincial fall-protection codes is typically a condition of site entry.

A documented record of all GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions generated by your operations, including equipment, vehicles, and fuel use. Prime contractors increasingly require subcontractors to submit one for project bids. Accurate tracking helps avoid compliance penalties and supports contract eligibility.

A site-specific document outlining how vehicle and pedestrian movement will be managed safely around a worksite. Subcontractors are often required to submit one before mobilising crews near roads or active facilities. It typically details signage, flagging requirements, and designated haul routes.

A set of standards governing the design, fabrication, and inspection of pressure vessels and boilers. Subcontractors working on pressure equipment must ensure their work meets applicable ASME BPV sections or risk failing inspection. Non-compliance can result in project shutdowns, liability exposure, and lost contracts.

Personal protective equipment that stops a worker mid-fall before hitting a lower level or surface. Typically includes a full-body harness, lanyard, and anchor point. Subcontractors must ensure equipment is inspected, certified, and meets provincial OH&S regulations before workers use it on site.
