WorkSafeBC says inspectors will be dropping in one businesses to enforce provincial guidelines as early as next week. But the plan is to focus on education rather than shutting down businesses without a proper COVID-19 plan. “We are going to start off small, but by this time next week you are going to start seeing inspectors on worksites,” head of prevention services for WorkSafeBC Al Johnson said. “Our inspections will be a soft sell approach.
We will start with calls. We have prevention officers that will be assigned to these sites. Slowly we will get them but we will not get to all of them.” Labour Minister Harry Bains is scheduled to hold a press conference on Thursday to discuss the WorkSafeBC sector guidelines relating to B.C.’s
