Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

What regulation is designed to protect the public by ensuring that building practices meet minimum standards?

1. Building Codes

2. Health and Safety Regulations

3. Municipal Bylaws

4. Occupational Safety Standards

5. Planning Act

6. Zoning Regulations

The correct answer is: Building Codes

Building Codes are designed to protect the public by ensuring that building practices meet minimum standards. These codes provide specific requirements regarding construction materials, methods, and safety measures to safeguard the health and well-being of individuals who will occupy or interact with the structure. Health and Safety Regulations, Occupational Safety Standards, Municipal Bylaws, Planning Act, and Zoning Regulations, while important in their own right, do not focus specifically on setting and enforcing the standards related to building construction and safety as comprehensively as Building Codes do.
