BC proposes asbestos workplace requirements
|
The government of British Columbia is calling for public feedback on its proposal to amend workplace health and safety requirements related to asbestos.
According to the province, "asbestos-related diseases are the leading cause of workplace deaths in BC, accounting for 33 per cent of all occupational disease and traumatic workplace fatalities from 2000 to 2020 – a total of 1,279 deaths out of 3,879 workplace fatalities."
The government says workers are exposed to asbestos due to "high levels of non-compliance with existing health and safety rules amongst some employers and contractors who undertake asbestos abatement work, and a lack of adequate safety training for asbestos abatement workers." It also cites common problems such as not testing for asbestos-containing materials prior to undertaking a renovation; inadequate procedures, controls, training and supervision; a lack of proper personal protective equipment for workers; and asbestos fibres being released into the air during demolition projects.
