BC Construction Safety Alliance merger complete
The paperwork has gone through and the BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA) has officially been created. Earlier this month, the BCCSA also received the WorkSafeBC contract for delivering safety training to B.C.’s construction industry.
The new association will hold an official launch party in September and the new website will be up and running in August. In the meantime, construction companies are encouraged to access safety information and services through their usual association.
