WorkSafeBC will not grant any further extensions to the January 1, 2024, regulatory deadline. After November 1, 2024, all uncertified operators must abide by the stipulations in Part 20.26.6 of the Occupational Health & Safety Regulation, which requires that any uncertified operator in BC work under supervision of a certified operator. "Certified" means that the operator holds a valid CCPO certification granted by the BCCSA’s Certified Concrete Pump Operator program. Certifications are specific to pump types, and a single operator may hold multiple certifications.
Those who hold the Certified Concrete Pump Operator Certification (CCPO) have demonstrated theoretical knowledge of concrete pump operations and they have shown they can apply this knowledge by working competently in the field. The CCPO can open the door to well paying employment and career advancement. As a CCPO, you can be proud to be part of an elite group of technically qualified personnel. But you will be expected to uphold high standards of ethical and safety standards.
We welcome your registration!
