A brand-new worksafebc.com

WorkSafeBC has redesigned its website. As a result, all of your favourite health care and social services URLs and bookmarks will not work.

To help you during the transition from the old website to the new one, we have created a reference document with the direct links to our most heavily used resources.

You can also visit the Health care & social services page on the new website.
