The 2024 government review of the workers' compensation system made something crystal clear: to prevent more injuries in the workplace, we need to change how we work. That’s why in partnership with the Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration (LSI), we're launching Safer Workplaces Together, an action plan that will bring WCB, LSI, employers and safety partners to the table with a focused mission on injury prevention. With annual check-ins, this collaboration will be guided by solid data sharing, ambitious targets, transparent reporting and bold action on key priorities.
