WorkSafe BC Confined Space Regulations

WHEREAS WorkSafe BC amended its confined space regulation in 2011; AND WHEREAS the current WorkSafe BC regulations and guidelines with respect to confined space within waste water treatment plants are challenging design standards; Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training to direct WorkSafe BC to provide an exemption to waste water treatment plants until a confined space regulations rewrite, with input from waste water treatment plant owners and operators, can be completed.
