Alberta Building Code - Responsibility for Compliance

1.2.1.9. Responsibility for Compliance

1) Neither the issuance of a permit, nor inspections made by the authority having jurisdiction, shall in any way relieve the owner of a building from full responsiblility for carrying out the construction or having the construction carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Safety Codes Act and regulations made pusuant to that Act, this Code, or the permit, including compliance with any special conditions required by the authority having jurisdiction.

2) The owner shall ensure that all activities which take place on the site meet the requirements of this Code.

3) The constructor shall ensure that
a) precautions are taken to safeguard the public and protect adjacent properties
b) the methods used in demolition or erections are safe, and
c) the material and equipment used on site meet the requirements of this Code

4) Every vendor or supplier of materials and things used in the construction of a building shall ensure that the materials and equipment he advertises, displays, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of meet the requirements of this Code.
