The Fire and Flood Restoration Program (FFRP) Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was formed in 2005 as the British Columbia Association of Restoration Contractors (BCARC). It was the first association in North America devoted exclusively to workplace health and safety issues in the fire and flood restoration industry. BCARC amalgamated with the BCCSA in 2016 and the committee continues to deliver safety training and resources to the restoration industry under the Fire and Flood Restoration Program (FFRP).

Under the Fire & Flood Restoration Program (FFRP), the Fire & Flood Restoration Program Technical Advisory Committee (FFRP TAC) provides safety training and resources to the restoration industry. Restoration contractors repair/re-build existing homes and business structures that have sustained damage as a result of fire, windstorm, flood, vandalism, etc.
ECPs are written documents describing a company’s plan for managing occupational health hazards. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (OHSR), ECPs are required when hazardous levels of exposure are possible at a jobsite. The speakers will discuss their experiences developing and reviewing ECPs.
Topics for this session include:
Are you a property adjuster, independent adjuster, property manager in the insurance industry, or do you work in fire and flood restoration? Do you know and understand your responsibilities for health & safety?
The FFRP TAC is collecting lead exposure measurements to help with risk assessment for common tasks in the restoration industry. We’ve developed a Field Form Observation Sheet (PDF) to standardize the information collected with the measurements for quality control. If you’d like to contribute lead exposure data to this project, please contact elinde@bccsa.ca
