Question: A municipal contractor is transporting a 20-tonne excavator using a specialized float trailer from a job site within city limits to a maintenance yard. Which Canadian regulation primarily governs the securement of this excavator on the trailer?
Answer options:
- CSA Z150-16 (Safety Code for Mobile Cranes)
- CSA B354.7-17 (Safety standard for earth-moving machinery – General requirements) ✅ Motor Vehicle Transport Act (Canada) and provincial Highway Traffic Acts.
- CSA B149.1-20 (Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code)
Correct answer: Motor Vehicle Transport Act (Canada) and provincial Highway Traffic Acts.
Explanation: The securement of cargo on public roads falls under the jurisdiction of the Motor Vehicle Transport Act (federal) and applicable provincial Highway Traffic Acts, which incorporate national cargo securement standards (e.g., National Safety Code Standard 10). The other options refer to codes for cranes, earth-moving machinery operation, and gas installations, not cargo securement for transport.
