RESOURCES FOR EMPLOYERS & WORKPLACES
WorkSafe BC has published a detailed guide to inform businesses of the new guidelines during Phase 3 and beyond. This guide provides information for employers to develop a communicable disease plan. An effective plan includes general measures to reduce the risk of communicable disease and additional measures for when there is an elevated risk of communicable disease. It is not meant for employers who have an existing exposure control plan related to communicable disease, such as health care employers.
