Description
At the request of the Hon. D. J. Russell, Minister of Alberta Environment, a Committee of provincial and federal government as well as general public representatives was established to review the current use of warning signs in respect to water resources structures in the Province to recommend changes as required. The committee conducted a review of current legislation and procedures relating to the use of warning signs and the kinds of signs in use. IT found that there is a need for warning signs and for providing additional safeguards against personal hazards resulting from water resources and structures constructed in Alberta Waters. The Committee recommends that the guidelines as outlined in Appendix A be adopted as an initial set of guidelines. After implementation these guidelines can be improved and expanded as required.
