Workplace stress is an important issue across the country.

Workplace injury takes far too great a human and financial toll in Nova Scotia.

About 1 in 10 workers in Nova Scotia are hurt on the job – a staggering statistic.

Until we live in a world where no worker is injured, the WCB will continue working together with our partners toward that vision - fostering safer workplaces, helping those who are injured return to the job, and providing some security from workplace injury to workers and their families.
