With two carbon monoxide (CO) incidents this week in BC – one in Barriere, near Kamloops and one in Vancouver – Technical Safety BC is reminding British Columbians of the danger of this deadly, colourless and odorless gas.

To enhance safety for workers and the general public, the provincial government of BC has made several amendments to the Safety Standards Act which came into force at midnight, November 30. These amendments are intended to address gaps and strengthen existing safety oversight tools so that delegated authorities administering the Act, including Technical Safety BC and other local municipalities, can do their jobs more effectively.

Technical Safety BC is pleased to announce that Catherine Roome, President and CEO, has been named one of Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women for 2018.

You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. You’ve probably never thought about it. But make no mistake: it’s out there. And it could kill you. We’re talking about carbon monoxide (CO), an invisible, odourless, tasteless gas produced when wood, natural gas, or anything organic burns incompletely.
