Worker Safety

In BC, EMBC’s PSLV Safety Policy (2013) covers the safety of all ESS responders while participating in, preparing for, and responding to a disaster or an emergency under a (EMBC) task number. The policy supports the first priority of the BCEMS: “Provide for the safety and health of all responders”.

Your supervisor is responsible for reviewing the Volunteer Safety Orientation Checklist with you.
