INTRODUCTION

BC Construction Safety Alliance is a not-for-profit association that provides services to over 62,000

construction companies employing over 220,000 workers. We are funded by the construction industry, plus select aggregate and ready-mixed industry employers, through a portion of their WorkSafeBC annual assessments. BCCSA works in partnership with WorkSafeBC to promote a positive occupational health and safety culture for the construction industry.

BCCSA provides programs and services, in compliance with WorkSafeBC’s legislation, to reduce the human and financial impacts associated with workplace incidents. BCCSA also acts as the construction industry’s apolitical spokesperson on health and safety issues.

Non-Profit

BC Construction Safety Alliance is financed entirely by the BC construction and aggregate industries and the ready-mixed classification units through a small percent of their assessment premiums collected by WorkSafeBC. As a safety association recognized by WorkSafeBC, we promote and develop workplace health and safety in compliance with WorkSafeBC’s regulations and guidelines. BCCSA also acts as the construction industry’s apolitical spokesperson on construction health and safety issues.

As a non-profit organization, BCCSA works from a percentage of funding from base assessments paid annually to WorkSafeBC. Through this funding we provide the industry with health and safety services, programs, and training.

PURPOSE OF POSITION The Safety on Tour Ambassador is responsible for the direct execution, facilitation, and day-to-day coordination of the BC Construction Safety Alliance’s (BCCSA) Safety on Tour mobile program.
