Applicant: N.B. Tel Co. Ltd.
Bathurst, New Brunswick
Mis en cause: Dave Furlotte, Safety Officer
Human Resources Development Canada
Moncton, New Brunswick
Before: Serge Cadieux
Regional Safety Officer
Human Resources Development Canada
On January 29, 1996, safety officer Dave Furlotte issued a direction to
N.B. Tel Co. Ltd. of Bathurst, N.B. The safety officer had conducted
an inquiry into an accident at the work place operated by the employer
and as a result, the safety officer was of the opinion that paragraph
125(j) of the Canada Labour Code, Part II, and paragraphs 12.10(2)(b)
and (c) of the Canada Occupational Safety and Health Regulations were
being contravened. The employee was not using fall-protection equipment
when scaling poles. The employer appealed the direction on February
12, 1996.
On March 29, 1996 the employer withdrew its request for review of the
above-noted direction. As the Regional Safety Officer responsible to
review this direction, I HEREBY CONFIRM that N.B. Tel Co. Ltd. has
withdrawn its request for review of the direction issued by safety
officer Dave Furlotte on January 29, 1996. This file is closed.
Decision rendered on April 25, 1996.
Serge Cadieux
Regional Safety Officer
