Flush Toilets Now.
Tell Premier Eby and Minister Bains to implement the flush toilet regulations as soon as possible.
WorkSafeBC reviewed all the evidence, listened to construction workers, and agreed that flush toilets on larger job sites can and should be a reality. WorkSafeBC is finalizing regulations to require flush toilets on construction sites. Proper sanitation is a pressing health-and-safety concern, and the regulations should be brought into effect immediately. While some of the industry will try to delay implementation for months and months, workers can’t wait. Urge Premier Eby and Minister Bains to implement the regulations as soon as possible.
Show your support for B.C.’s construction workers and send a message to Premier Eby.
We’re so close! WorkSafeBC is currently finalizing the regulations that will require flushing toilets at construction sites where the project has 25 workers or more.
Workers have waited years. It’s time to bring these changes into force as soon as possible. That’s why we need to:
Make sure there are no delays once the regulations are finalized by WorkSafeBC.
Send Premier Eby and Minister Harry Bains letters urging them to bring the regulations into force as soon as their government is able to.
Be loud to counter the arguments from industry.
The porta-potty was so dirty there were maggots.

It makes you feel like a second-class citizen. Office workers would never accept these conditions.

I’ve been on construction sites where they have trailers with flushing toilets. It’s safe, it’s secure and it’s completely possible.

There’s a lot of profit made in the construction industry for the developers but construction workers still don’t get flushing toilets.

Being forced to use filthy porta-potties is degrading and dehumanizing.
