New Public Health Act Order Restricting Group Activities
On November 7
th
, 2020, BC’s Provincial Health Officer announced a variety of new protective
measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission in our region, including new restrictions on group
physical activities. Details on these restrictions can be found here.
Operators of businesses that conduct group physical activities may resume these activities after an
updated COVID-19 Safety Plan has been reviewed and approved by a local Medical Health Officer.
This document is designed to help owners and operators of indoor recreation facilities (including
fitness centres, yoga studios, weight training facilities, crossfit affiliates, martial arts clubs, dance
studios, climbing centres, indoor racket clubs and courts, ice rinks, curling clubs, batting cages etc) to
develop and communicate their existing COVID-19 Safety Plans.
Getting Started
The protocols in this COVID-19 Safety Plan checklist are aligned with existing WorkSafeBC guidelines
and are based upon current scientific knowledge; however they do not represent a comprehensive
list of all possible precautions that can be taken. This template is meant to be supportive, not
prescriptive.
This document contains checklists as well as question/answer sections with blank space to explain
your guidelines, policies and procedures. It is not necessary to answer every question if they do not
apply; however, all safety measures taken should be indicated.
Each business must assess and understand their own risks when developing their safety plan, then
choose and implement the protocols deemed necessary to address those risks. It may also be
necessary to review and update your plan periodically as new data becomes available, and when
public health directives change.
We have created a w
orkplace COVID-19 Safety Plan by following the processes outlined
in the WorkSafeBC COVID-19 Safety Plan Guide.
☐ I confirm that this Safety Plan meets the requirements of the PHO orders up to and
including the order of November 7, 2020.
