Purpose
The WCB - Alberta is committed to the prevention of workplace accidents and disease. Working with workers, employers, industry safety associations and labour organizations, it promotes injury prevention and develops effective disability management services. With a strong eight-decade heritage, the WCB-Alberta has made significant progress in the prevention and management of work-related injury and illness.

The WCB-Alberta is actively supporting the involvement of workers, employers, researchers and educators in helping to improve workplace health & safety. Focusing on areas of concern affecting workers today, the WCB-Alberta supports research undertaken by safety associations that directly affect the mission statement of the WCB-Alberta: Albertans working - a safe, healthy and strong Alberta.
