As part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/building-code-updates" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ontario building code regulation for 2023</a>, Truss manufacturers operating in Ontario will be required to adhere to the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cwta.net/uploads/1/2/9/9/129927096/national_quality_standard_-_truss_fabricator_guideline_use_of_fj_lumber.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">In-Plant Qualification Program Mandate</a>&nbsp;set in place by the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cwta.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Canadian Wood Truss Association.</a>







While the program requirement may seem laborious and cumbersome, including In-Plant Inspections, Non-Conformance Inspections, Outside Party Audits and Documentation Requirements, Truss and structural building component manufacturers can leverage Offsight&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.offsight.com/production" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Production &amp; Quality Tracking</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.offsight.com/reporting-auditing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reporting &amp; Auditing</a>&nbsp;feature sets to easily address these requirements and institute a seamless fully digital quality program.

Addressing The Canadian Wood Truss Association In-Plant Qualification Program Mandate with Offsight

Today, we announce the launch of the <a href="https://www.offsight.com/certifications">Offsight Certification Program</a> geared towards the offsite, modular, and prefab community. Our program consists of two certifications designed to equip production managers, quality inspectors, plant managers, and operators with a deeper understanding of how technology and digitization can be a game-changer in driving process improvements and productivity benefits to capture the full value of offsite construction.

&#8220;Before joining Offsight, I held quality manager and operations roles at modular manufacturing companies. It was my responsibility to implement Offsight across our workforce of 50+ operators and managers. My biggest takeaway was the importance of training a technical lead responsible for learning how Offsight works and the value it can provide the factory. Our Offsight Certification Program will enable our clients to better train and recognize these internal leads and drive technological changes throughout the company.&#8221; &#8211; Jason Dixon, Solutions Engineering Manager
