These guidelines developed by AMSSA and WorkSafe BC are intended for organizations providing in-person settlement and integration services to all newcomers regardless of immigration status.
Organizations may also benefit from reviewing other WorkSafe BC created guidelines related to in-person counselling, office space, child care and day camps. Where applicable, organizations must also follow any guidance from the provincial health officer that would be applicable and relevant to their organization and the services being offered. Organizations will need to create their own policies regarding a safe work environment during COVID-19 and these guidelines have been created to assist organizations in the creation of their own guidelines and are not meant to substitute their organizational guidelines.
