Masks are mandatory* in all common training spaces at the Pacific Safety Center Ltd whenever training is being conducted. Students can provide their own masks or use 1 of our complimentary disposable non-medical masks. While we strongly recommend wearing masks at all times, once a student is seated in the training room or desk and properly social distanced, they may, if they choose, remove their mask. They must use their mask in any of our common hallways, bathrooms, staircases, front entry areas or other similar common spaces or anytime when not seated at their table/desk in the training room.

In the interest of being heard, the instructor is not required to wear a mask while instructing, but he/she is required to maintain a 3 metre distance while instructing, or, if unable to maintain 3 metres, must wear a mask.

*As per WorkSafeBC, exemptions will be granted to those students with with health conditions or with physical, cognitive, or mental impairments who cannot wear one, people who cannot remove a mask on their own, people who need to remove their masks to communicate due to a hearing impairment..

As BC moves into Phase 2 of the Covid-19 situation more and more businesses are either open or planning to reopen and we are planning on being there for you.  We have been revising our training course safety systems and hope to resume open enrollment (ie: regularly scheduled) courses in our Richmond offices, beginning June 24, 2020 with our Fundamentals for Joint Health and Safety Committees Course. We will be taking extensive safety measures to protect our clients and staff. For example we will be reducing the size of each course from 16 to 8 people to allow for social distancing. We will be doing extensive disinfecting in the training room , washroom and other areas, provide hand sanitizer, have face masks available for any and all,  utilize lexan barriers (where appropriate), and more.  Watch this space for more information.

In the interests of protecting our clients, trainers and our own staff, we are suspending all training courses both scheduled and on-site, for the duration of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.  We expect most attendees will want to reschedule once gatherings are safe again, but refunds will be available for those who have pre-paid for their training and choose not to reschedule. Please be aware that the recent cancelling of the 2020 Western Conference on Safety and the significant number refunds required for it, is slowing the overall refund process so delays should be anticipated. More information will be posted as the situation progresses.
