New requirements for tower cranes now in effect

Published on: October 01, 2024

Starting October 1, 2024, every employer is required to submit a Notice of Project (NOP) for tower crane erection, climbing, repositioning, and dismantling. Employers are also required to ensure these activities are done under the direction of a qualified supervisor.

While NOPs are already required by WorkSafeBC for many types of work activities, this is a new requirement specifically for tower crane operations.

Links to the new regulatory requirements, guidelines, and other resources are available on our Tower cranes webpage.
