Our story
Road Safety at Work is a WorkSafeBC-funded Injury Reduction Initiative managed by the Justice Institute of British Columbia.
We were established in late 2009 by WorkSafeBC and the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation to address road safety issues affecting BC workplaces. We were originally known as an Occupational Road Safety Partnership.
The Justice Institute of British Columbia became the Road Safety at Work delivery partner in April 2013.
