The work picture across Western Canada appears to be busy starting this Fall. In British Columbia Local Lodges 191 & 359 will be looking for travel cards but there has been changes to welder qualifications in B.C.
Travel Card Pressure Welders in British Columbia are now required to hold a Class A certificate of qualification. Welders from another province interested in working in B.C. as a pressure welder may be able to apply for a reciprocal Class A Pressure Welder Certificate through Technical Safety B.C. (TSBC). TSBC works with industry and the public to reduce safety risk through permits, licensing, enforcement, education and delivery of safety programs related to boilers, pressure vessels and pressure piping in British Columbia.
