Arbor Safety Consulting Services Ltd has formed a partnership with Worksafe BC to bring Worksafe Education courses to the business communities.

The Workers Compensation Amendment Act now requires employers, workers, and others affected to comply with its requirements. These requirements help create a working environment that protects and promotes the health, safety, and well-being of workers. Compliance with these requirements provides a basis on which workers and employers can, in cooperation, solve workplace health and safety problems. Non-compliance of this Act may result in fines.

WorkSafeBC courses are suitable for occupational health and safety committee members, supervisors, workers and health and safety professionals committed to preventing occupational injury and disease, and for members of the general public interested in acquiring a better understanding of risks associated with their work.
Who needs training?
WorkSafe courses are suitable for occupational health and safety committee members, supervisors, workers and health and safety professionals committed to preventing occupational injury and disease, and for members of the general public interested in acquiring a better understanding of risks associated with their work.
If your organization employs more than nine people, you are required under the Workers Compensation Act to establish a joint health and safety committee (20+ employees) or designate a worker health and safety representative (9–19 employees).
The Workers Compensation Act entitles all committee members and worker representatives to eight hours annual paid educational leave to attend courses conducted or approved by the WCB. One way to meet that requirement is to take WorkSafe courses.
WorkSafeBC courses, which have been developed by WorksafeBC and meet the requirements under the Act, are available through Arbor Safety Consulting Services
