WorkSafeNB issues E-News, winter edition
WorkSafeNB has removed a paragraph on page 11 referencing use of thermometers for temperature checks.
As a result of recent increases in COVID-19 cases in the province, WorkSafeNB would like to remind employers and employees of their obligations to follow Public Health measures to minimize exposure to COVID-19.
WorkSafeNB is pleased to announce the 2020 Safety Star recipients.
WorkSafeNB's board of directors has an opening for a vice-chairperson and one worker representative.
WorkSafeNB has updated its Sample Incident Reporting Procedure for New Brunswick workplaces.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions necessary to reduce risk, workplaces will not be the same as we left them and we will need to adjust.
WorkSafeNB is pleased to announce a new, improved way for employers to report workplace injuries and illnesses and for workers to apply for workers’ compensation benefits. As part of our long-term plan to transform the client experience, we have made the application for workers’ compensation benefits process simpler and easier. Rather than a joint form, there is now a separate application process for workers and separate reporting process for employers.
While we all try to establish a new normal at our workplaces, there will certainly be an added layer of health and safety measures (physical distancing, screening, handwashing, etc.) required to ensure the safety of our workers, our customers and our visitors.
Fewer workplace accidents, lower claims costs and a reduction in administration costs have resulted in a reduced assessment rate for 2021
