Read Section 13 for immediate hazards and Section 14 for non-immediate hazards.

Unacceptable condition — immediate hazard

"unacceptable condition" means,
   (a)   with respect to an appliance, container or work, that it is being used for a purpose other than that for which it was approved,
   (b)   with respect to an appliance, container or work, that any alteration to it or any deterioration of it, is likely to impair its safe operation, or

   (3)  Where a holder of a certificate or ROT finds that an appliance or work is in an unacceptable condition and that it constitutes an immediate hazard, the holder shall,
   (a)   immediately shut off the supply of gas to the appliance or work;
   (b)   promptly give oral notice of the shutting off of the gas to the distributor;
   (c)   promptly give a written notice to the user,
   (i)   describing the condition that constitutes the immediate hazard, and
   (ii)   directing that the appliance or work not be used until the condition is corrected;
   (d)   within 14 days of finding the condition, give written notice of the condition to the distributor, including notice that the supply of gas has been shut off; and
   (e)   affix a notice containing the information required in clause (c) to the appliance or work.  O. Reg. 212/01, s. 13 (3).
   (4)  An owner or user of an appliance or work to whom notice is given that there is an unacceptable condition that constitutes an immediate hazard shall not use the appliance or work or cause or permit the appliance or work to be used until the condition is corrected.  O. Reg. 212/01, s. 13 (4).

Reg. 212/01, s. 14 (4).

thanks. so when i red tag something or fix a redtag, would i call embridge that there is a problem / fixed?

[walker]

you call them when you write the tag, indicate to them you the date, your name, your company, your phone number, the address of the tag, whether its an A or B tag and any other important information.

You can do the same when clearing a tag or just fill it out and mail, fax, email it to them
