Pet Friendly Accommodation in Kelowna

The hotel had a sign on the door for the room next to us that they were removing asbestos, with the door sometimes open. No plastic....nothing. This is a violation and the heath authority should be contacted ASAP. Absolute no regard for safety. WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation Part 6 covers substance-specific requirements. While it doesn't explicitly forbid a guest in the next room, it mandates "Containment and Control." If they are working in the room next to yours, they must meet these standards: Negative Air Pressure: The "dirty" room must be under constant negative pressure using HEPA-filtered fans. This ensures that if there’s a leak in the plastic, air flows into the work zone, not out into the hallway or your room. Decontamination Facilities: Workers cannot just walk out of the room. They must use a multi-stage "shower" or "clean room" setup inside the containment. Sealed Barriers: They typically use "6-mil poly" (thick plastic sheeting) to seal every vent, electrical outlet, and door. The Occupiers’ Liability ActBeyond WorkSafeBC, the hotel is bound by the BC Occupiers’ Liability Act. This law requires property owners to take "reasonable care" to ensure people on their premises are safe. If a hotel puts you in a room where you could potentially inhale fibers, they are opening themselves up to massive legal liability. Because of this, most reputable hotels will leave a "buffer" of empty rooms around the work zone to avoid noise complaints and safety risks.

Great experience! Everything was perfect!

All good.
