Incident Cost Iceberg
The costs associated with an injury are like an iceberg. The costs which are paid by workers' compensation using employer premiums are only the tip of the iceberg. There are hidden, uninsured costs which can be several times greater than the insured costs.

DID YOU KNOW? The WCB is Nova Scotia's provider of workplace injury insurance. The premiums you pay are an investment - among many benefits, you are protected from lawsuits arising out of workplace injuries. And, just like other insurance, the best performers pay less than those with higher claims costs.
