WorkSafeBC's governing body, the Board of Directors, has approved the release of a discussion paper for stakeholder consultation.

At issue is whether WorkSafeBC should continue the Construction ER Program, or conclude it and move construction industry firms into the ER plan applied to all other industries. Also at issue is if WorkSafeBC was to conclude the Construction ER Program, whether construction firms should be moved into the ER Plan with no transition, or if construction firms should be stepped into the ER Plan.

The discussion paper, proposed policy amendments, and information on how to provide feedback can be accessed through the link below.

Consultation on the Construction ER Project

The consultation period for this item will end on April 30, 2011. The Board of Directors will consider stakeholder feedback before making a decision on the amendments.
