WorkSafeBC will not grant any further extensions to the January 1, 2024, regulatory deadline. After November 1, 2024, all uncertified concrete pump operators must abide by the stipulations in Part 20.26.6 of the Occupational Health & Safety Regulation, which requires that any uncertified operator in BC work under supervision of a certified operator.
“Certified” means that the operator holds a valid CCPO (Certified Concrete Pump Operator) certification granted by the BCCSA’s Certified Concrete Pump Operator program. Certifications are specific to pump types, and a single operator may hold multiple certifications.
