Safety Matters

When an injury occurs, early contact and connection with a focus on safe transitional work is critical. At WCB Nova Scotia, we’re focused on how we better support workers and employers with a sprain and strain injury in the early days of the claim.

Workplace injury cost Nova Scotia’s economy the equivalent of 3,131 person-years of work in 2020 – a staggering statistic that underlines a call to action for workers, employers, and health care providers across the province.

A focus on trips, their causes and how you can prevent them in your workplace.

Most people go to work in the morning and return home safely when the day is done.

Nova Scotia is becoming a safer place to work. That’s something to celebrate during NAOSH Week. But it’s also a call to action to do more.

96% of injured workers in Nova Scotia return to their pre-injury employment in a relatively short period of time. When the injury is more serious, it takes commitment and collaboration to help the worker return safely.
