Top 5 Safety Risks in 2025
Each year, we measure the data we receive through incident and hazard reports to analyze and rank the top safety risks we encountered across the province. These risks were identified by collecting, assessing, and analyzing incident investigation data. The key metrics we look at when ranking the top five safety risks include the likelihood of an incident taking place as well as the severity of its consequences, such as injury or damage.
Risk analysis is instrumental in identifying areas where risk treatment is needed, and we use it to develop strategies to influence better outcomes, whether it’s through regulation, communications, education, enforcement, partnering with organizations, or all of the above.
Targeted Safety Messaging
In 2025, we continued our commitment to public safety through awareness campaigns addressing both established and emerging risks across British Columbia. Guided by incident investigation findings, risk research, client insights, and evolving technologies, our work focused on carbon monoxide exposure, home renovations involving gas and electrical work, and the growing adoption of emerging technologies such as heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers.
