Work Safe . We believe that a focus on accident prevention will lead to safer workplaces where fewer illnesses and injuries occur. When they do, we believe well developed and managed programs and services can lessen their impact on workers, their families and their employers.
Workers benefit from safer, healthier workplaces.
Employers benefit from increased productivity and lower costs, enhancing their financial stability and contributing to a strong overall economy. Under the authority of both the legislation and the Strategic Plan quoted above, the WCB engages in a number of prevention activities. The Centre of Excellence philosophy was created to assist the WCB Alberta in becoming recognized as experts in the areas of accident prevention and disability management. By advancing, applying and disseminating information, the WCB can meet and exceed the expectations of its customers and set the standard for its industry and for its stakeholders. The guiding principle of the Centre of Excellence philosophy is correct and timely knowledge leads to proactive and appropriate interventions in preventing and managing workplace injuries and illnesses.
