In July 2021, WorkSafeBC’s Board of Directors approved changes to sections of Part 20 relating to concrete pump operation, in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation. These amendments took effect on December 1, 2021. As of January 1, 2024, no one may operate a concrete pump or placing boom at a workplace unless they hold a valid concrete pump operator certificate, issued by a certification authority approved by WorkSafeBC.
