The private company is based in Vancouver, Canada. The Council of Construction Associations (COCA) is a collective organization representing 20 construction associations across all sectors and Canadian company sizes, both union and non-union. The organization unites the industry to provide a unified voice on legislative and regulatory safety issues, engages in regulatory consultations, policy development, and advocacy to protect members from costly regulations and punitive actions, and addresses challenges such as inspection consistency, claims processing delays, psychological safety regulations, and emerging issues like the opioid crisis. COCA also supports industry initiatives, fosters collaboration among member associations, and provides members with regulatory feedback, strategic leadership, and direct support on WorkSafeBC-related concerns. Founded in 1992 as an ad-hoc committee of the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA), COCA advocates for the construction industry's interests in relation to WorkSafeBC assessments, claims, occupational health and safety regulations, Technical Safety BC, and provincial government policies.
