Who We Are
We’re British Columbia’s safety regulator — an independent, self-funded organization that oversees the safe installation and operation of technical systems and equipment in the province.
British Columbians encounter these technologies every day and should feel safe as they go about their daily activities. That’s why we work with those who own or work on regulated equipment to ensure they are certified, licensed and compliant with the latest codes and standards.
Our purpose-driven, collaborative teams work to reduce safety risks throughout the province through assessment, education and outreach, enforcement, and research. We serve all British Columbians — from homeowners to contractors to your community.
