Arbor Safety
Consulting Services Ltd has formed a partnership with Worksafe BC to bring
Worksafe Education courses to the business communities. These courses are
designed especially for workers and employers who wish to learn how to
prevent workplace injury and disease and reduce associated accident and
injury costs.
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. If you have not received the WCB Bulletin Bill
14 Update go to the website:

All courses are eight hours and can be scheduled as 1-day workshops.
Worksafe Certification issued upon successful completion for each course.
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.
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.
WorkSafe courses, which have been developed by WorksafeBC and meet the requirements under the Act, are available through Arbor Safety Consulting Services
The following Six Training Courses have been specifically designed to help organizations meet Occupational Health & Safety Regulations established by Worksafe BC. These Worksafe courses can be customized to meet your organizations specific requirements through a needs assessment of your organizations industrial background.
