High Risk Strategies and Industry Initiatives updated for 2022
WorkSafeBC’s High Risk Strategies and Industry Initiatives identify and target industries and employers with a high risk of serious workplace injury and a significant contribution to the serious injury rate.
Our strategies and initiatives take place over multiple years and are reviewed annually to make any necessary adjustments. Our website has been revised to reflect adjustments we have made in 2022, including updated information on our inspections and prevention activities.
2022 inspectional approach
For inspections in many of our strategies and initiatives, prevention officers will take a risk-based approach to ensure that the most significant risks are effectively managed. This approach involves workers and employers identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing the appropriate controls specific to the on-site activities. In addition, it focuses on employers ensuring these efforts are effectively communicated to workers and monitored through foundational occupational health and safety systems such as orientations, training, supervision, incident investigations, worksite inspections, and (where applicable) joint health and safety committees that are robust and well supported.
