I want every New Brunswicker to go home safely every day. Working for WorkSafeNB, I’m surrounded by people who share the same passion.
Our vision is to make New Brunswick the safest place to work, transcending language and cultural differences.
WorkSafeNB is pleased to announce that the benefit improvements under the Government of New Brunswick's Bill 45, An Act Respecting the Firefighters’ Compensation Act and the Workers’ Compensation Act, are now in effect. These historic benefit improvements, which include an increase in loss of earnings benefits and adjustments to maximum annual earnings, mark a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to the well-being of our province's workforce.
WorkSafeNB's 2023 Annual Report highlights a year of significant growth and transformation.
While most changes are administrative in nature, two have larger implications for New Brunswick employers and workers: Amendment to Section 14 of the Act requiring joint health and safety committee (JHSC) minutes to be submitted to WorkSafeNB automatically, and Harmonizing the requirement for Type 2 headwear on project sites.
In a significant move toward enhancing the well-being of New Brunswick’s workforce, the Government of New Brunswick has passed a new bill to greatly benefit injured workers and their families. These historic improvements to benefits underscore our unwavering commitment to supporting those who have been injured on the job, ensuring they receive the financial assistance they need during recovery.
WorkSafeNB is pleased to share an improved application to become an approved joint health and safety committee (JHSC) training provider.
Safety and Health Week promotes the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace, at home and in the community.
WorkSafeNB is pleased to launch a consultation regarding workplace injuries and illnesses experienced by professional artists.
To recognize these outstanding leaders, WorkSafeNB presents Safety Star Awards annually. Recipients are honoured for their initiative, hard work, and profound effect on health and safety among other health and safety champions.
