British Columbia

WorkSafeBC is dedicated to promoting workplace health and safety for the workers and employers of British Columbia. WorkSafeBC is charged with administering British Columbia's Workers' Compensation Act and enforcing the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.

WHMIS requirements in British Columbia outline employer responsibilities for a WHMIS program which requires labels and SDSs (formerly MSDSs), as well as worker education and training. The current regulations have been in force since 1988. WorkSafeBC prevention officers have also been designated as federal WHMIS officers to enforce the federal WHMIS requirements from the Hazardous Product Act and associated regulations.
