When certified flaggers are required
WorkSafeBC's Occupational Health and Safety Regulation governs traffic control on and near roadways under Part 18. Employers must have a qualified person carry out a risk assessment to determine whether traffic control persons are needed on a site. Where they are, those TCPs have to be trained to WorkSafeBC standards as set out in the Traffic Management Manual for Work on Roadways.
Only a short list of providers is approved by WorkSafeBC to deliver that training — the BC Construction Safety Alliance, BeeSafe, and Universal Health and Safety Inc. Certification from anywhere else does not satisfy an employer's obligation under the regulation.
