Exposure Control Plans

Exposure Control Plan templates

WorkSafeBC Regulation requires employers to create and enact a number of Exposure Control Plans.  As they are developed or shared, we’ll post them here!

Silica

Employers are required under Section 5.54 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (OHSR) to develop an exposure control plan (ECP) when workers are or may be exposed to airborne silica dust in excess of 50% of the exposure limit.

To assist occupational health and safety professionals with this task, WorkSafeBC has posted the following sample documents (in editable Microsoft Word format), which can be used to help create an employer’s ECP. Note that these sample documents are not sufficient to constitute an ECP; a WorkSafeBC occupational hygiene officer would have to make a determination as to whether or not a completed ECP meets the requirements of the OHSR.

The following Exposure Control Plans are from WorkSafeBC’s website.  Following these, is a draft Exposure Control Plan from the City of Victoria, for Cutting, Grinding and Drilling Concrete – all in one document.
