Territorial Acknowledgment
SWITCH BC humbly and respectfully acknowledges the unceded and traditional lands of approximately 200 distinct First Nations and the self-governing treaty territories in British Columbia. We further acknowledge the profound harms of colonialism on First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and the ongoing, intergenerational trauma people are living with today. In our work and in our lives, we are committed to listening and learning, to truth and reconciliation, and to finding better ways of being on this land.

In British Columbia, workers are protected by the Workers Compensation Act (WCA) and the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation, which also outline employers’ legal obligations. Community physicians who are employers are legally responsible for ensuring the health and safety of all workers at their worksite. To ensure the safety and compliance of your clinic, it’s crucial to follow all regulations. Failure to do so could result in WorkSafeBC issuing work orders and imposing financial penalties.

The Community Physicians Health and Safety Program was developed in collaboration with SWITCH BC, Doctors of BC, and the Ministry of Health
