Conference Coverage from Crane & Hoist Canada

Harmonize safety across Canada Alberta crane conference concludes

Panel discussion climaxes two-day conference on crane and rigging at Edmonton’s Fantasyland Hotel in October

The subject of harmonizing crane and hoist regulations proved to be too big for just western Canada. While that was the topic of a panel discussion at crane and rigging conference this October in Edmonton, by the time the session was over, a consensus emerged that harmonization should extend across the country. “What about you guys? You want this Canada wide?” said Judy Mellott, president of All Canadian Training Institute, one of the conference’s event partners, to applause to close out the panel discussion.
