Working at heights? Prioritise safety.
Falls from heights can cause serious work-related injuries, and even death.
Don’t become the worst-case scenario.
Are you a young worker starting a new job this summer? You’re probably focused on learning the ropes, meeting new people and making a good impression. Staying safe on the job may not have crossed your mind yet.
However, workplace safety cannot be overlooked because what you don’t know CAN hurt you.
Are you an Island worker? Have you ever wondered what exactly the WCB does or what to do if you’re injured at work?
Check out our Information for Workers booklet!
This practical resource provides an overview of the WCB’s programs and services for workers and answers common questions like “What do I do if I get injured at work?”, “What happens after I file a claim?” and “Can the WCB help if I need to be off work because of my injury?”.
For all the employers out there, the beginning of summer is a great time to re-evaluate and update your health and safety orientation.
Taking the time to prepare and deliver an effective health and safety orientation will help make sure that workers feel safe, confident and ready for their role.
The WCB’s main goal is to help you return to your pre-injury work. However, sometimes that isn’t possible. If your injury prevents you from returning to your job, our vocational rehabilitation programs can help you re-enter the workforce.
We’re here to help you get back to work because getting back is part of getting better.
