During the course of a hearing regarding an occupational health and safety appeal and a jurisdictional dispute, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Settlement.
The settlement resolved the appeal of a Ministry of Labour inspector's decision and the jurisdictional dispute concerning the installation of temporary lighting strings on construction projects.
The parties agreed that non-conductive material would be used for hanging and supporting temporary lighting strings and that workers would be instructed in safe installation.
The Board issued a decision reflecting the settlement, permitting the withdrawal of the jurisdictional dispute and terminating the health and safety appeal.
