News Release Reminder to New Brunswick employers

April 14, 2021

As a result of recent increases in COVID-19 cases in the province and growing concern over variant strains, WorkSafeNB is reminding employers of their obligations to follow Public Health measures to minimize exposure to COVID-19. 

These include:

• Having a COVID-19 operational plan
• Training staff on how the plan applies to the workplace
• Watching for and adapting to revised Public Health requirements
• Reaching out to Public Health or WorkSafeNB for more information when needed

Go to Public Health for a full list of measures. 

Both WorkSafeNB and the Province of New Brunswick have guides for developing and managing a COVID-19 operational plan.

• Embracing the New Normal As We Safely Return to Work 
• COVID-19 Operational Plan template (Word format) 
• COVID-19 Operational Plan Guide 

Go to COVID-19 - What you Need to Know for information on prevention and compensation. 

WorkSafeNB regularly updates a webpage hosting close to 60 FAQs. See detailed information on topics such as cleaning, mask use, isolation requirements and border restrictions.  Workplaces can contact a member of WorkSafeNB's Prevention team with questions not addressed in the FAQ: 1 800 999-9775 or prevention@ws-ts.nb.ca.

Anyone with a health and safety concern on any workplace (on any topic) can reach out to WorkSafeNB at 1 800 999-9775.
