UPDATE: As of April 8, 2022, employers are no longer required to have a COVID-19 Safety Plan and must follow communicable disease guidance instead.

If you’re an employer in British Columbia, it’s important that you continue to review, update, and communicate your COVID-19 safety plans as conditions change. The first step in developing a workplace COVID-19 safety plan is a risk assessment.

Ensure you involve workers when assessing your workplace. Identify areas where there may be risks, either through close physical proximity or through contaminated surfaces.

Involve workers, supervisors, and the joint occupational health and safety committee (or worker health and safety representative) if applicable.

Identify areas where people gather, such as break rooms, production lines, and meeting rooms.

Identify job tasks and processes where workers are close to one another or members of the public. This can occur in your workplace, in worker vehicles, or in other work locations if your workers travel offsite as part of their work.

Identify the tools, machinery, and equipment that workers share while working.

Identify surfaces that people touch often, such as doorknobs, elevator buttons, and light switches.

Let’s stay committed to keeping workplaces in British Columbia healthy and safe.
