Information from Work Safe BC: Orders from the provincial health officer (PHO) and guidance to employers and businesses provided by the BC Centre of Disease Control represent the minimum standard that employers must meet, to comply with obligations to ensure worker health and safety.

Can a Non-unionized Employer Require Its Employees to Vaccinate Against COVID-19?
While the privacy and security interests of employees are undoubtedly central to the analysis, the employer’s safety obligations are also critical. Employers have an obligation under health and safety legislation to take every reasonable precaution for the protection of workers. Since March 2020, employers have significantly modified their workplaces to meet the duty and mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
