WorkSafeBC’s Mandate
To work with workers and employers as follows:
• To promote the prevention of workplace injury, illness, and
disease
• To rehabilitate those who are injured, and assist with timely
return to work
• To provide fair compensation to replace lost wages for injured
workers during their recovery
• To ensure sound financial management for a viable workers’
compensation system
Overview of 2015 Rates
The average base premium rate is projected to remain unchanged at
$1.70 per $100 of employers’ assessable payroll.
Increase in claims costs, Long Term Disability awards, and Health Care
costs
• Excess investment returns
• $117 million withdrawal from the Capital Adequacy Reserve, and the
capping of rate increases for industries at 20 percent have kept the
average rate from increasing next year
• 44 percent of employers will experience a base rate increase
• 54 percent of employers will experience a base rate decrease
• 2 percent of employers will have their base rate remain unchanged
