Occupational Disease Issue Identification Consultation

The Policy and Regulation Development Bureau ("Bureau") advises the Board of Directors of the Workers' Compensation Board concerning occupational disease policy development.

The Director General of the Bureau has created a new committee called the Occupational Disease Policy Development Committee ("ODPDC") to consider occupational disease policy development issues and to make recommendations to the Board of Directors.

In order to assist with proactive identification of occupational disease policy issues, the ODPDC has prepared a Priority Planning Protocol. The purpose of the Priority Planning Protocol is to describe the process and criteria the ODPDC will use to set priorities for occupational disease policy development.

The Priority Planning Protocol received approval from the Priorities and Board Governance Committee of the Board of Directors at their April 1, 2003 meeting.

We are asking for your comments about occupational disease issues that you would like to suggest the ODPDC consider in the priority planning process.

We invite you to respond by April 14, 2003.

You may send your response by mail, fax or email to:

Terri White, Policy Director
Policy and Regulation Development Bureau
Workers' Compensation Board
PO Box 5350, Stn. Terminal
Vancouver, BC V6B 5L5
Fax: 604 279-7599
E-mail: twhite2@wcb.bc.ca

Please note that all responses become part of the Bureau's database and may be published, including the identity of those participating on behalf of organizations. The identity of those who have participated on their own behalf will be kept confidential according to the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
