What is an administrative penalty?
An administrative penalty is a fine against an employer for violations of the Workers Compensation Act (WCA) or the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (OHSR), for failure to comply with a WorkSafeBC order, for failure to take sufficient precautions to prevent work-related injury or illness, or for having an unsafe workplace or working conditions. Section 196 of the WCA sets out the specific circumstances in which WorkSafeBC can impose an administrative penalty.
