The applicant constructor appealed health and safety orders issued by an inspector, including orders directed at its subcontractors.
The responding party Ministry of Labour moved to dismiss the appeals regarding the subcontractors' orders, arguing the constructor lacked standing as an 'aggrieved' party under s. 61(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The Board dismissed the motion, finding that the constructor had standing because s. 23(1)(b) of the Act imposes a legal obligation on the constructor to ensure all subcontractors comply with the Act and regulations.
