Introduction
There are numerous law and policy documents that are used by WorkSafeBC Board Officers to make adjudicative decisions regarding compensation (wage loss and health care benefits); Prevention matters, including Prohibited Action complaints (workplace bullying and harassment); Reviews filed at the Review Division; and Appeals filed with the Workers Compensation Appeal Tribunal (WCAT).
Injured workers, advocates, lawyers, and others require the most recent policy documents and manuals to help guide them through the process of dealing with WorkSafeBC proceedings, such as Reviews and WCAT Appeals. Below you will find the most common of these resources.
