Needless to say, fine you are right Worksafe does not necessarily have jurisdiction over RCMP officers, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't care.
Either way though the exact same rules apply under the Government Employees compensation act.
So at the end of the day there is someone who gives a fuck about what these officers are doing. You can play your little game and dance around my words, but if the right person were to see one of these officers stepping into traffic not wearing their reflective stripes, there would be hell to pay.
NONE of this applies to police like west Vancouver and others who display this type of behaviour. Worksafe would most definitely punish those PD's.
And Worksafe has previously gotten involved with local detachments, see here:

EDIT: I did also just notice that I did initially also say "Local Detachments", to me that does mean non-RCMP PO's.
