Safety is Everyone’s Business: The True Cost of WorkSafe Claims

/in , , , ,

Every claim counts — prevention protects everyone.

When an injury happens, the impact goes beyond the individual. WorkSafeBC claims affect staffing levels, morale, and even funding that supports programs and care delivery.

Here’s what happens when we reduce claims:

  • We keep premiums lower, meaning more resources for staff wellness and equipment.
  • We maintain consistent care for residents and clients.
  • We protect our reputation as a safe, supportive employer.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Work safely every day, follow policies and use equipment correctly.
  • Support coworkers who return to modified duties.
  • Keep communication open,  ask for training if you’re unsure.
  • Be proactive: prevention is the best cost savings strategy.

Let’s make every shift count:  for ourselves, our residents, and our community.
