LA6(1) Health & Safety at Work
The BC Employment Standards Act, BC Labour Code and the negotiated collective agreements (IBEW & OPEIU) cover health and safety at work. Related to this is the existence of joint management-union committees, created by Workers' Compensation Board law, to oversee adherence to health and safety regulations. Provincial occupational health and safety regulations require BC Hydro to establish joint health and safety committees comprising management and worker representatives. BC Hydro complies with these regulations and in some instances exceeds them. One hundred per cent of the workforce is covered by these regulations, and is covered by a hierarchical structure of committees to monitor and report results and take any corrective actions.
