In Canada, many Occupational Health and Safety Standards are established by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). WorkSafeBC uses CSA Standards as the baseline for Aerial and Lift Truck Certification and Training. This Industry Recognized Practice (IRP) has been developed with consideration of the CSA Standards and meets or exceeds the applicable standards.
This IRP identifies a minimum industry standard with regard to Aerial and Lift Truck Training and Certification in British Columbia’s Motion Picture, Video and Television industries. The principle behind this IRP is to clarify compliance requirements and to contribute to the reduction of accidents and injuries that occur among workers in our industries.
This document is intended to provide employers and workers in our industries with a standard for training and for appropriate periods for certification and re-certification. Aerial and Lift Truck Training and Certification in B.C.’s Motion Picture, Video and Television industries is required to meet or exceed this standard.
This IRP was developed through the Actsafe Motion Picture and Video Standing Committee, in conjunction with worker and employer representatives in British Columbia’s Motion Picture, Video and Television.
