The OHSA states that marina employers must ensure boat-lifting activity is carried out by “competent persons.” This competency is demonstrated to the Ontario Ministry of Labour by documented theoretical training and practical assessment. Site-specific practical assessment must be completed by the marina employer or supervisor on specific equipment.
