MCABC Applauds “Heads Up For Safety” Campaign

MCABC applauds the BC Safety Authority’s new “Heads Up For Safety” campaign (external link), encouraging British Columbians to hire licensed contractors for gas renovations and installations. However, much of the general public is unaware that they can use licensed plumbers to perform their gas work.

“Many people do not realize that plumbing and mechanical companies have certified gasfitters on their staff,” said Dana Taylor, MCABC’s Executive Vice President. ‘In fact, all certified plumbers in BC are required to have their ‘B’ Level Gas Certificate - the same level that the BC Safety Authority licenses. Plumbing and mechanical contractors should be used because it is their business to understand the entire gas and heating system in a building.”

MCABC member companies employ ceritifed tradespeople who are qualified to perform these repairs and understand complete systems. The general public can contact MCABC, or visit the Members Directory to get a list of contractors in their area.
