If you have an existing written health and safety program which may be in need of an upgrade to meet with the 2019 WorkSafeBC or State OSHA Regulations – we can definitely help you. Occupational Health and Safety Regulations across BC, Canada and the USA change frequently; and it is up to the employer to ensure their written health and safety program meets with the current minimum legislative requirements. We specialize in upgrading OHS health and safety programs to meet with current occupational health and safety regulations, standards, policies and guidelines.

SAFETY PROGRAM MANUAL UPGRADES

​​Is your company from another province in Canada or USA and conducting business in BC?

If your company is conducting business in any Province across Canada and you need your current written health and safety program converted to meet with provincial health and safety regulations – we can definitely help you. In each province or territory in Canada, there is an Occupational Health and Safety Act which applies to most workplaces in that region. At the provincial and territorial level, the name of the government department responsible for OH&S varies with each jurisdiction. Usually it is called either the ministry or department of labour or the workers' compensation board or commission that has the responsibility for occupational health and safety. Each provincial or territorial department is responsible for the administration and enforcement of its occupational health and safety act and regulations. Occupational Health and Safety Regulations are all different and specific for each Province.
