BC’s Restart is a plan developed by the province to safely reduce restrictions in public spaces and workplaces.  As of July 1, 2021, it is no longer required for employers to maintain COVID-19 Safety Plans. Instead, employers are encouraged to transition to communicable disease prevention. Examples of communicable disease include influenza, norovirus, and COVID-19.

In order to help keep workplaces healthy and safe, BC’s Provincial Health Officer (PHO) has advised employers to develop communicable disease plans.

PHO Statement to Employers

Employers should create a communicable disease plan as outlined by WorkSafeBC.  For more information on workplace requirements to implement communicable disease prevention, visit the WorkSafeBC links below.

Need help? SafetyDriven is committed to the health and safety of our clients and stakeholders, and we are here to assist you.  Talk to our Safety Advisors for help with your communicable disease plan, or if you have questions about the new guidelines. Contact us today.
