WorkSafeBC Regulation Review

Release for Consultation of the 2011 Proposed Amendments to the Occupational Health & Safety Regulation

The Board of Directors (“BOD”) approved the release of the 2011 proposed amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (“OHSR”) for consultation. The consultation phase provides stakeholders with an opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed amendments. All feedback received will be reviewed and changes made to the proposed amendments, where appropriate, prior to the proposed amendments being taken to a public hearing in May or June 2011. WorkSafeBC must hold a public hearing under the Workers Compensation Act before a regulation can be made.
