Ontario Regulation 213/91 (Construction Projects) under the Occupational Health and Safety Act specifies requirements for the use of test blocks for cranes, particularly tower cranes. These requirements are outlined in the following sections:
Every portable or removable counterweight, test block, and ballast used on a crane must be accurately
weighed and have their weight clearly marked on them. This ensures proper load management and safety during crane operations.
Overload limit devices for a tower crane shall be tested using test blocks designed for the purpose that have their weight clearly marked on them. This provision mandates the use of appropriately marked test blocks to verify the functionality of overload limit devices
The test blocks shall be kept on the project while the crane is erected. This requirement ensures that test blocks are readily available for ongoing testing and verification of crane safety mechanisms.
