Education: Safety by Design: Leading Multi-Employer Sites with Confidence

December 9, 2025 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM (PST)

Description

When multiple employers share a worksite, safety responsibilities can quickly become tangled — and costly if not managed correctly. Under BC’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, the Prime Contractor plays a critical role in ensuring coordination, compliance, and worker protection across the site.

This session is made possible by the generous support of Doane Grant Thornton, whose contribution helps us deliver high-value education to members & the industry.

Join Suzanne Jackson, Regional Safety Advisor with the BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA), for an in-depth look at what those responsibilities mean in practice — and how to meet them with confidence. Learn how to avoid liability, build stronger contractor relationships, and keep your projects compliant and efficient through clear communication and effective coordination.

Using real-world examples, Suzanne will share the key duties of a Prime Contractor, the most common compliance pitfalls, and practical tools to demonstrate due diligence. You’ll leave with strategies and templates you can immediately use to strengthen your safety systems and protect your bottom line.

Key takeaways:

  • Understand Prime Contractor obligations under the Workers’ Compensation Act and OHS Regulation
  • Coordinate overlapping work and manage cross-hazards effectively
  • Build a subcontractor safety program and screening checklist
  • Apply the S.P.I.T. framework (Spread, Proximity, Impact, Timing) for coordination success
  • Document and demonstrate compliance through due diligence

Whether you’re an owner, general contractor, or site safety lead, this session will help you strengthen your compliance framework, enhance communication, and foster a culture of accountability across your projects.
