SUMMARY:Workplace Fatality Cases 2024
DESCRIPTION:A workplace death has occurred. Do you know your client’s rights and obligations before the investigation starts to unfold? \nvia webinar only \nCan’t make the webinar or rebroadcasts?\nWant online CPD available 24/7?\nSubscribe to Courses On Demand\, our comprehensive online resource with 1\,500+ videos and 5\,400+ papers from CLEBC courses. This course will be added to Courses on Demand approximately 30 days from the original course date. \nWho should attend: Criminal defence counsel\, in-house counsel\, WorkSafeBC counsel \nLearning level: All levels \nWorkplace fatalities are a tragic reality in a wide range of settings. When a fatality occurs\, many businesses are not prepared to face the investigative machinery of WorkSafeBC and the RCMP. \nIt is not a simple matter. The WorkSafeBC investigation under the BC Worker’s Compensation Act is a very different creature from a criminal investigation by RCMP or city police under the Criminal Code. \nThis comprehensive half-day program will examine the two processes\, illuminating the differences and nuances of the two processes and how various factors will dictate the best course of action for a business. As counsel\, you need to be ready for the call when a workplace death happens! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
