WorkSafeBC imposed a record total penalty of more than $4.4 million against employers last year for violations of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation and the Workers Compensation Act, according to the agency’s 2009 Penalty Report. Over the past several years, WorkSafeBC and the Ministry of Labour have been increasingly proactive with companies that don’t measure up to health and safety and employment standards rules and regulations. The ministry has undertaken more health and safety and employment standards inspections and audits, increased fines and penalties, and introduced various aggressive enforcement techniques. You have most likely felt the pressure to react and get your workplace and employees prepared for an audit.
