Information and Services for Workers' Representatives
Last updated on July 24, 2024The WAO provides workers' representatives with training and mentoring on workers' compensation issues.
A Workers' Adviser can:
- Help enhance your knowledge of the workers’ compensation system, prohibited action issues, and occupational health and safety complaints
- Help you with a Request for Review at the Review Division or an Appeal at the Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal
Start a new inquiry with us if:
- Your injured worker disagrees with a decision from WorkSafeBC
- You would like advice or assistance on a potential review or appeal for one of your injured workers
- WorkSafeBC refused to provide your injured worker with a decision related to entitlement under the Workers Compensation Act
- Your worker's employment or membership in a union was terminated from raising a health and safety concern and you want to file a prohibited action complaint with WorkSafeBC
- WorkSafeBC denied your worker's prohibited action complaint
- You need advice on an occupational health and safety matter involving an administrative penalty against an employer, an order issued against your injured worker, or an inspection report
