Where British Columbia law sits in the manual
The legislation work is done for you. The manual's legislation section lists the British Columbia rules that apply, topic by topic.
In British Columbia, occupational health and safety is governed by Part 2 of the Workers Compensation Act and by the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation. Both are administered and enforced by WorkSafeBC, which is also the province's workers' compensation insurer. WorkSafeBC publishes OHS Guidelines and Policies that explain how the Act and Regulation are applied.
General Conditions (emergency preparedness, impairment, working alone, violence, ergonomics, guardrails, indoor air quality) - BC OHS Regulation Part 4
Chemical Agents and Biological Agents (WHMIS, flammable substances, exposure limits, ventilation, emergency planning) - BC OHS Regulation Part 5: Sec 5.1-5.104
Substance Specific Requirements (asbestos, biological agents, hazardous drugs, lead, pesticides, silica, toxic process gases) - BC OHS Regulation Part 6: Sec 6.1-6.132
Related legislation: Safety Standards Act and Electrical Safety Regulation (electrical work, administered by Technical Safety BC); Mines Act and the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia (mines, administered by the Chief Inspector of Mines); Employment Standards Act (minimum working age and hours of work); Fire Safety Act and British Columbia Fire Code; Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 (Canada); Hazardous Products Act (Canada).

British Columbia construction safety program questions
What is the difference between the manual and the RAVS?
The manual is your whole written program in one Word document. A RAVS is a short stand-alone program on one hazard, for example fall protection, in the format ISNetworld clients request. Most construction companies need the manual first and add RAVS when a client asks for them.
Can I see inside before I buy?
Yes. The look-inside gallery at the top of this page shows the real cover, the table of contents, sample pages and fillable forms. Tap any page to see it full size.
What format are the files?
The manual is a Microsoft Word .docx with an updatable table of contents. The forms are separate fillable PDF files. The Implementation Kit and 52 toolbox talks come in the same .zip.
How do I put my company name in it?
Use the free brand-it step after checkout: type your company name and upload your logo for a personalised Word file. When Word asks to update the fields as it opens, click Yes so the table of contents refreshes. Then fill in your emergency contacts, sign the policy and keep the safe work practices that apply to your work.
Is it written for British Columbia specifically?
Yes. The legislation section references British Columbia occupational health and safety legislation topic by topic.
How fast do I get it?
Right away. The download link appears as soon as checkout is complete, so you can have your program branded and ready for a client the same day.
I also work in another province. Do I need another manual?
Each province has its own legislation, so yes, and it is quick to add: get the second province's construction edition at checkout for $199.
My client uses ISNetworld. What do I upload?
Upload the manual as your written health and safety program, and the matching British Columbia RAVS for each hazard the client flags. The British Columbia Complete Program gives you the manual and all 57 British Columbia RAVS in one purchase.
