Cargo Lifting Gear / Tackle and Lifting Appliances

Cargoes and Ship-Port Interface provides support for the department's responsibilities under the Tackle Regulations, which cover international obligations under the International Labour Organization (ILO) (ILO 32 and 152) for safety involving tackle and lifting appliances used in dock work on or near ships. Over the years, Marine Safety has worked in cooperation with industry to develop relevant standards for the safe use of cargo gear, such as for safe wear limits, web slings, and unitized cargo.

It should be noted that, with the coming into force of the new Canada Shipping Act 2001, expected in early 2007, a proposed new set of Regulations will replace the existing Tackle Regulations under the current CSA. Please refer to this page regularly for further updates.
