⚠️ Changes to BC’s OHS Regulation are coming November 6, 2026. Amendments to Part 8 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation will clarify requirements for tight-fitting respirators and reinforce that nothing can interfere with the respirator’s seal or proper functioning.

Employers must continue to: • Select the right respirator for the worker, task and exposure • Ensure required fit testing is completed • Ensure workers perform a user seal check before each use • Prevent facial hair, eyewear, clothing, jewelry or other items from interfering with the seal or operation of a tight-fitting respirator Workers must continue to participate in fit testing, complete user seal checks and report anything that may affect respirator fit or function. 📅 Effective: November 6, 2026 Preliminary WorkSafeBC guidelines are also available for review and comment. Learn more about the amendments and respiratory protection requirements through WorkSafeBC.
