Published by SALUSI was not able to find any specific documentation regarding fall protection and prevention systems as mandated by the WSCC in the Northwest Territories (NWT). However, I can provide general safety guidelines regarding fall protection.
Generally, fall protection is required if a worker could fall 3 m or more, or if there is a risk of injury if a worker falls less than 3 m. An employer must ensure that workers use a fall protection system at a work site if these conditions are present. [1]
