Personal Coverage

Personal Coverage is workers compensation insurance that can be purchased by individuals who are not automatically covered by The Workers Compensation Act. Sole proprietors, partners and directors of a firm can apply for personal coverage.

The WCB administers both compulsory and optional no-fault insurance for workplace injuries to workers and employers in the province. Its primary function is to provide assistance to workplaces and workers who are injured on the job through both compensation and return to work services. The WCB also provides prevention services such as training and consulting workplaces on safety and health.
