[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 559432"] I mentioned this to our safety committee and it went AAAAAALL the way up the chain to the Canadian head of health and safety who paid us a 'special visit'. I went so far as to get the international fire code law (which Canada abides by) to prove it. Anyways, he came in and said, 'nope, we don't have to, 'It's certified by federal law, not provincial'. When asked for proof he essentially just kept saying the same thing. When I asked my DM I was told, 'he has so many certificates it would make your head spin so stop worrying about it' hmm, doubt it. Here's the proof I managed to scrounge up (with very little effort). 1. I spoke with a fire inspector who told me the law (which if I come across another one I'm going to request a fine :D ) 2. I photocopied a 2009 international fire code law stating they needed to be discharged every year and recertified 3. If we don't follow provincial law does that mean I can driver as fast as I want and cut people off because it's provincial law and not federal? 4. I know multiple acting fire chiefs and full time captains who all stated they need to be recertified every year 5. There was no proof given on UPS' side of the argument other then, 'we looked into it and we're ok' Also talked to a few sups who said we're SUPPOSED to tap our extinguishers every time we go out. I don't recall that being on our pretrip training though :dissapointed: I was also told Fedex and Purilator don't recertify every year. I find all of it puzzling. All I want is a little proof, that's all :( [/QUOTE]
