When can WorkSafe BC visit your construction site?

WorkSafe BC has the authority to visit construction sites anytime and does not have restrictions based on the time of day or the presence of pre-scheduled inspections. This is important because it allows WorkSafe BC to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to monitor the working conditions. By having the ability to conduct unannounced visits, WorkSafe BC can better protect workers' health and safety by observing actual working conditions, identifying safety violations, and ensuring that regulations are being followed without delays or forewarning.

The flexibility of allowing visits at any time also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a consistently safe work environment. Since construction sites can change rapidly, having regulations enforced without prior notice helps to ensure that all safety protocols are being adhered to at all times.
