Am I Covered?
For most industries, workers' compensation coverage is required
by law.
Employers operating in a compulsory industry must open a WCB account
when they employ regular, casual workers, or contractors.
Some industries are exempt from workers' compensation coverage.
Employers that operate in exempt
industries may voluntarily apply for workers' compensation to
protect their workers.Opening a WCB account provides protection
should one of your workers be injured at work.
Personal coverage (pdf

coverage protects proprietors,
partners, directors, their dependents, and their business from
the potential hardships of a work-related injury or illness.
