Working together for an early and safe return to work

If a workplace injury happens, you’re not alone. Whether you’re a worker, employer, or health care provider, the WCB is here to support you every step of the way.

WCB protects Nova Scotia’s workforce. We are the province’s provider of workplace injury insurance. Every day, we prevent workplace injury. When it happens, we help the people whose lives it touches, supporting an early and safe return to work.

Health care service providers are vital partners in helping workers continue working, or recover and return to work early and safely.

Return to work is an important part of the claims process

Whether an injury is physical or psychological, work is part of a healthy recovery.

Your WCB case worker is here to help support you during your claim and return to work. Case conferences are a helpful part of this process.

When a claim is opened, WCB is here to support both you and the worker. From treatment to return-to-work—we help make sure you’re on track for the best possible outcomes.

Whether you have experienced a physical or psychological injury, work is part of a healthy recovery. In fact, most workplace injuries don’t need to result in time away from work—especially when supports and accommodations are in place early.
