Slips, trips, and falls are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries in Nova Scotia. They happen in every sector, at any time of year, and often result in serious harm.

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.

One team, with a clear plan to help prevent more people from getting injured at work.

The Workplace Safety and Insurance System (WSIS) brings together the people and organizations that support workplace health, safety, and insurance in Nova Scotia.
