Yes, proactive monitoring is a highly effective tool for supporting WorkSafeBC compliance. It directly addresses a prime contractor’s responsibility to ensure site safety by actively preventing unauthorized access, which is a major source of after-hours incidents, liability, and potential compliance issues.
While security is often viewed through the lens of theft, its role in site safety and regulatory compliance is just as critical. Under WorkSafeBC regulations, the prime contractor has a profound responsibility for the health and safety of everyone on site. This duty does not end when the crew goes home. Preventing unauthorized access is a cornerstone of this responsibility. Proactive live video monitoring is one of the most effective tools available to a BC contractor to demonstrate due diligence, control the site perimeter 24/7, and ultimately support a compliant and safe working environment. Our construction security solutions and live video monitoring provide this compliance support.
WorkSafeBC regulations are clear: the prime contractor must ensure the site is secure from known and foreseeable hazards. A major foreseeable hazard is an unauthorized person entering the site after hours. An intruder, whether a thief, a vandal, or a curious teenager, who gets injured on your site can trigger a serious WorkSafeBC investigation, stop-work orders, and significant liabilities. A 2025 review of construction incidents in BC showed that after-hours trespassing was a significant factor in a number of serious injury claims, creating complex compliance challenges for the contractors involved.
The ability to prove you have taken reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized entry is a critical component of demonstrating due diligence. Proactive monitoring provides a clear, verifiable record of your commitment to after-hours site control and safety.
Our service provides tangible solutions that strengthen your overall safety plan and help you meet your regulatory obligations.
This is the most direct benefit. By detecting and deterring trespassers with a live voice-down, you are physically stopping unauthorized individuals from entering a hazardous environment. This active prevention is a powerful demonstration of your commitment to site safety and control.
In the event of any after-hours incident, security-related or otherwise, our system provides a high-definition video record with a precise timeline. This footage is invaluable for your own internal investigations and for providing clear, factual evidence to WorkSafeBC, protecting your company from unsubstantiated claims.
The visible presence of cameras and the knowledge of live monitoring deters unsafe behavior around the clock. It also allows managers to remotely verify that end-of-day safety protocols, like gate closures and proper equipment storage, have been followed correctly.
Construction sites often attract high-risk thrill-seekers, such as crane climbers or parkour enthusiasts. Our system is specifically designed to detect this type of vertical movement and perimeter breach, allowing us to intervene before a potential tragedy occurs on your watch.
Fulfilling your WorkSafeBC obligations requires a 24/7 commitment to safety. Proactive monitoring is a powerful tool to secure your site against unauthorized access, protect your project from liability, and demonstrate your unwavering dedication to a safe work environment.
