Notice of 2016 Asbestos Inspection: WorkSafeBC’s prevention officers will be conducting planned inspections of worksites from July 1 to December 31, 2016, to ensure all jobsites are properly informed and equipped to safely remove asbestos-containing materials and are in compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.
Asbestos exposure remains the number one killer of workers in B.C. Whether you’re an employer, supervisor, prime contractor, or worker, you have a role to play in keeping the workplace safe. WorkSafeBC has compiled a list of resources, including booklets, toolbox meeting guides, bulletins, videos and forms to help you understand your role and the ways that you can ensure everyone remains safe from occupational disease on the jobsite.
