Do I need to register with WorkSafeBC?
Virtually all employers in British Columbia are required to register with WorkSafeBC – Workers’ Compensation Board of B.C. as soon as they hire workers. Individuals who are not automatically covered by WorkSafeBC (a partner in a business, a proprietor, or the spouse of a proprietor) can apply for optional coverage through Personal Optional Protection.
