This document is intended to help organizations understand how occupational health and safety (OHS), legal responsibility, and insurance apply when engaging volunteers in British Columbia. There is no single regulation or statute that governs volunteers. Instead, organizations must navigate several legal frameworks that apply indirectly. This guide explains how those frameworks fit together, what responsibilities organizations retain, and how to plan volunteer programs in a way that manages legal and safety risk.
This document is for volunteers within the Arts and Entertainment industry in BC and is not intended to cover any other jurisdictions of volunteers.
