Migrant workers can be vulnerable to unsafe work and workplace hazards, including their health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. They often lack the knowledge, language skills and ability to exercise their right to a safe and healthy workplace. WorkSafeBC is partnering with AMSSA to develop workshops and information for settlement agencies and their support workers to help migrant workers understand and exercise their rights and receive benefits they are entitled to as workers in BC as they relate to workplace health and safety. Participants will learn more about the Workers Compensation Act, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations, claims, and other WorkSafeBC-related services and benefits.
