WORKSAFEBC COMPLIANCE
|
HAS YOUR COMPANY RECEIVED AN INSPECTION REPORT OR WRITTEN ORDERS FROM WORKSAFEBC?
The Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (OHSR) in BC contains legal requirements that must be met by all workplaces under the inspectional jurisdiction of WorkSafeBC. Many sections of the OHSR have associated guidelines and policies. The purpose of the OHSR in BC is to promote occupational health and safety and to protect workers and other persons present at workplaces from work-related risks to their health, safety, and well-being. Compliance with the requirements provides the basis on which workers and employers, in cooperation, can solve workplace health and safety problems. The requirements are not an end in themselves, but are a foundation upon which to build an effective health and safety program. Greystone Safety Services provide employers professional legal services to ensure their company operations are in compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation & Workers Compensation Act Legislation in British Columbia (WorkSafeBC). We will also work closely with Occupational Safety & Hygiene Officers, to ensure compliance if your company has been issued any inspection reports or written orders.

- Fail to take sufficient precautions to prevent work related injury or illness;
- Do not comply with the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations, Part 3 of the Workers Compensation Act, or an applicable order; and
- Have an unsafe workplace or work conditions.
prime contractor responsibilities
According to Section 118 of the Workers Compensation Act; in a workplace where there are two or more employers working at the same time, a written agreement must identify a prime contractor. If there is no written agreement, the owner is considered to be the prime contractor. While prime contractors have overall responsibility for health and safety on a work site, employers still retain responsibility for the health and safety of their own workers.
