Workplace Exposure Control Plan Surrey
Build a clearer workplace safety plan around your people, work activities, and potential exposure concerns with practical documentation and professional guidance.
Build A Plan Around Your Workplace
Every workplace has different activities, materials, workers, and conditions to consider. A well prepared exposure control plan brings these details together so workers have clear information about potential exposure and the controls used to reduce it.
The plan can be developed around the specific workplace, identified hazards, work activities, control measures, training needs, and documentation requirements. WorkSafeBC identifies risk identification, assessment and control, education and training, written procedures where required, hygiene and decontamination, health monitoring where required, and documentation as key elements of an exposure control plan.
When Your Workplace Needs A Plan
Exposure concerns can arise from many workplace activities and substances. The right documentation depends on the hazards present, how workers may encounter them, and the requirements that apply to the workplace.
Workers May Face Exposure
When employees may encounter an airborne contaminant or other occupational hazard, a structured plan can help establish appropriate controls and procedures. WorkSafeBC requires an exposure control plan in specific circumstances, including certain situations involving air contaminants.
Hazardous Materials Are Present
Workplaces involving asbestos, lead, silica, biological agents, or other regulated hazards can require specific controls and procedures. The plan can address the hazards relevant to the activities being performed.
Work Activities Are Changing
New equipment, materials, processes, or work areas can change the conditions workers face. Reviewing the existing plan can help keep workplace procedures aligned with current activities.
Documentation Is Required
A workplace may need written procedures, training information, control measures, and other records connected to worker exposure. A properly organized plan can bring these requirements together.
Put Your Safety Procedures In Place
A workplace exposure control plan can bring together the information workers and employers need to understand potential exposure and the measures used to control it. The content can be developed around the workplace and applicable requirements.
The work may include:
- Reviewing workplace activities
- Identifying potential exposure sources
- Assessing routes of exposure
- Developing control measures
- Preparing written work procedures
- Organizing required documentation
