BC Business Restart Plan RE: COVID-19

The province issued new instructions and guidance for restarting business last week.

These instructions stipulate that employers MUST perform a risk-assessment and MUST select and put measures in place to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission in a workplace – including fishing vessels.

WorkSafeBC is involved in this process of ensuring compliance and fishing vessel inspections have begun. 

Links to these instructions are found here:

Fish Safe is preparing to help vessel owners and operators via our Safest Catch program which is free to all BC commercial fishermen.
