The discussion will be interactive and will include an extensive Q&A period.
Topics include:
- What did the Supreme Court of Canada decide? On what points was the Court split?
- What are the responsibilities of the owner, contractor and consultant for health and safety at a construction site?
- What can you do as an owner, contractor and/or consultant to protect yourself from liability?
