Registration of Constructors and Employers Engaged in Construction

The MOL has modified the requirements for registration of Constructors and Employers engaged in Construction. While the change will have the greatest impact on residential construction projects, where literally hundreds of self-employed workers will require registration, the effect will be felt on all construction, remediation and abatement projects.

Section 5 of the Construction Regulations under OSHA requires that:

Before beginning work at a project, each constructor and employer engaged in construction shall complete an approved registration form. The constructor shall ensure that each employer at the project provides to the constructor a completed approved registration form; and a copy of the employer’s completed form is kept at the project while the employer is working there."

This applies equally to Individuals (self-employed), Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships, Corporations and Joint Venture. If you are the Constructor of a project ensure that all sub-trades and self-employed workers supply this form (#1000) and that these forms are available at the project. This requirement has been noted on the NOP form required to be posted at the site.
