It's not mandated yet. But it is coming — and the employers who get ahead of it now will be protected when it does. WorkSafeBC is actively increasing psychological safety inspections across BC's construction and industrial sectors in 2026.
Right now, if a worker is impaired on your site and an incident occurs, you are exposed — legally, financially, and in terms of your WorkSafeBC premiums. Injury claims, lost-time incidents, and psychological safety violations all directly impact what you pay.
The companies calling us today are the ones who won't be scrambling when regulation catches up.
Get ahead of it — book a free callUnder BC's Workers Compensation Act, employers are already required to manage psychological risks in the workplace — including impairment risks. That means if you don't have a programme and something goes wrong, you are exposed.
It is not mandated yet. But it is coming.
WorkSafeBC is moving toward full psychological safety requirements for all BC employers. Project Lift helps you build compliant programmes now — so you're ready when the regulations arrive, not reacting to them.
Everything we offer is built for BC's construction, trades, trucking, and hospitality sectors — in plain language, onsite, without judgment. No generic content. No corporate wellness theatre.
30–45 minute on-site sessions delivered directly to your crew at the start of a shift or during a break. No booking fees, no classroom, no disruption to your schedule.
These are entry-level awareness sessions — the first step toward a culture where workers feel safe talking about what's really going on. We offer them free because we believe every crew in BC should have access to this.
Stress & burnout
Recognising the early signs before they become a crisis
Substance use awareness
What impairment looks like and why it matters on site
Mental health basics
Breaking the silence — what to do when a colleague is struggling
Full training for workers and supervisors on recognising, responding to, and managing impairment on the jobsite — substance use, fatigue, and mental health crisis. This is safety training, not counselling. The goal is risk management, not therapy.
Delivered on-site · Half-day or full-day format · Customised to your worksite
Supervisors and foremen are the first point of contact when a worker is struggling — but almost none of them have been trained for it. This programme gives them the tools, language, and confidence to act.
Delivered on-site or off-site · Supervisor group or 1:1 coaching available
We write the policies your company needs to be legally protected and WorkSafeBC-compliant — covering substance use, testing, disclosure, return-to-work, and impairment response procedures.
Delivered as editable documents · Ready for WorkSafeBC inspection
BC's construction sector has the highest overdose death rate of any industry in Canada. A crisis response plan and naloxone-trained supervisors are not optional on a modern BC jobsite — they are a basic safety requirement.
On-site delivery · Practical, scenario-based training · Documentation included
No two worksites are the same. A 15-person electrical subcontractor in Langley has different needs from a 200-worker general contractor in Kelowna. We don't sell off-the-shelf packages — we assess your company, your workforce, your risk exposure, and your budget, and build something that actually fits.
A custom service package from Project Lift might combine:
Starting point for smaller firms
For mid-to-large employers
WorkSafeBC is actively moving toward full psychological safety and impairment management requirements for all BC employers. The direction is clear. The question is whether your company is building its programme now — or scrambling to catch up when the order lands.
"The companies we're talking to today are the ones that will be protected tomorrow."
WorkSafeBC inspections are increasing now
Psychological safety inspections are actively happening across BC's construction sector in 2026. Firms without documentation are receiving orders.
Mental health is becoming an employer expectation
Workers increasingly choose employers who take their mental health seriously. Firms with programmes attract and retain better talent.
Your WorkSafeBC fees are tied to your safety record
Injury incidents, lost-time claims, and psychological safety violations all increase what you pay. Prevention is cheaper than the alternative.
Every programme we deliver is grounded in real mental health and addiction science — then translated into practical, plain-language tools that work on a construction site, in a truck cab, or on a hospitality floor. This is what separates us from every other safety consultant in BC.
