The Workers Compensation Act and Regulations

In Canada, workers compensation is a system of compulsory no-fault insurance for workplace injuries. The system is administered by statutory corporations or commissions established under the legislation of each province and territory. The Manitoba legislation is called The Workers Compensation Act.

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.
