Good news 🙌 Following our campaign in September (https://donoharmbc.ca/national-standard-on-n95s-into-bc-law/), WorkSafeBC has announced that once the most up-to-date standard for respirators in the workplace (CSA Z94.4) is released, they’re going to review it for future updates to BC’s workplace regulations.

This means we’re one step closer to getting up-to-date best practices about workplace N95 use and airborne transmission into BC law!

Thank you to everyone who wrote in to WorkSafe and attended the public hearing. Your voices made an impact! If you want a refresher on what a CSA standard is and why this one’s important, find our explainer at https://donoharmbc.ca/national-standard-for-n95s/ 😷
