Later this month, WorkSafeBC will hold a second public hearing on the proposed amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation: Part 6, Substance Specific Requirements – Combustible Dusts.
These changes aim to strengthen safety measures across a broad range of workplaces by clarifying that various types of dust may be combustible and pose serious risks. Specifically, this may include dusts generated during automobile manufacture or repair and could therefore have an impact on your members.
We recommend that members take a look at the details on the proposed amendments and the upcoming public hearing.
Members may learn more by visiting the Combustible Dusts engagement page, which includes further background information and how to participate in the virtual public hearing, submit feedback, and access additional resources.
