Saint John, N.B. – Fewer workplace accidents, better rehabilitation and return-to-work outcomes, and an improved financial position have resulted in a significantly reduced assessment rate for 2022, WorkSafeNB announced today at its Annual General Meeting.
New Brunswick is now in a Green health zone. The Province of New Brunswick lifted its state of emergency and the mandatory order (COVID-19) has been removed.
To help keep workers safe, and to continue driving a safety-first culture in New Brunswick’s roofing industry, WorkSafeNB’s health and safety officers will be visiting worksites this summer to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
We’re pleased to announce the removal of the three-day unpaid waiting period for injured and ill workers of New Brunswick.
Administrative penalties are monetary penalties that can be issued by WorkSafeNB health and safety officers. This represents a new and important measure to help officers to enforce compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS) and associated regulations.
