What happens if the employer does not report an incident that should be reported to WorkSafeBC?
Section 172 of the Workers Compensation Act sets out the types of incidents that must be reported to WorkSafeBC. Failure to report these incidents may result in an order (and possibly an administrative penalty) being issued against the employer, or a prosecution. See FAQs on penalties for more information about administrative penalties and prosecution.
