ACTS AND REGULATIONS

New Brunswick law protects employers’ and workers’ rights under four pieces of legislation and their regulations: the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission Act, the Workers’ Compensation Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and the Firefighters' Compensation Act.
