Safety Standards Appeal BoardWelcome to the Safety Standards Appeal Board website. This site provides information about the board, its rules, practice directives and related information about appeals under section 51 of the Safety Standards Act, SBC 2003 c. 39 (the Act), as amended by the Administrative Tribunals Act, SBC 2004 c.45. Decisions of the board are posted to this website. As an adjudicative tribunal, the board is independent of the British Columbia Safety Authority, the regulated industries and any body such as a local government responsible for administering the provisions of the Act. The chair of the board is responsible to the appointing authority for the board's performance. The board operates at arms length from the government in its decision-making capacity. An appeal before the board is an entirely new proceeding. It provides the parties with the opportunity to present their case to be judged on its merits. The board has no evidence before it except the Notice of Appeal and the evidence presented to the board by the parties. The board’s objective is to process appeals as efficiently and effectively as possible with minimum cost to all parties. It may use a variety of methods to achieve this, depending on the needs of the parties and the complexity of the appeal. These procedural guidelines are meant to clarify the procedures in an appeal which are regulated by the board’s Rules of Practice and Procedure.
