Rationale for campaign

From April 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, the Construction Health and Safety Program (CHSP) conducted 11,315 proactive inspections and responded to 6,875 events at single-family and multi-family residential sector projects. This is a combined total of 18,190 field visits, which is 52.9% of the total field visits completed by CHSP.

During these field visits, inspectors issued:

• 50,801 orders (66.3% of all orders in the construction sector)

• 5,612 stop work orders (71.7% of all stop work orders in the construction sector)

Of the 50,801 total orders issued, 21,743 (42.8%) were issued against eight sections of O. Reg. 213/91 Construction Projects, which are the items listed in the Inspections section, below.

Over the past two years, our campaigns have focused on falls from heights in single-family residential and multi-family residential, as well as struck-by hazards.
