Report Unsafe Work - Terms of Use

Report Unsafe Work is the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission’s (WSCC) online tool for reporting unsafe work or work conditions. Use this tool to inform a WSCC Safety Officer or Inspector of Mines of situations, things, or conditions that may expose a person to risk of injury or occupational disease.

The WSCC will receive immediate notification of your posting. All reports will be vetted by the WSCC, and then anonymously shared within the Report Unsafe Work tool so you can track the status of your post, and to inform and alert others to the risk.

The WSCC cannot use Report Unsafe Work, or any other form of social media, to discuss individual accounts or claims. Employers and injured workers must contact us at 1-800-661-0792 to discuss specific incidents or claims, or any other issue involving personal and confidential information.

Report Unsafe Work is not a means for employers or injured workers to submit official reports of workplace injuries, incidents, or fatalities to the WSCC. Submitting a report of unsafe work using this tool alerts the WSCC to a current or potential incident. It does not meet the legislative reporting requirements under the Safety Act, the Mine Health and Safety Act, orthe Workers’ Compensation Act. Official communications as required by any WSCC administered legislation are not accepted through this tool. To report an incident, call the 24-hour Incident Reporting Line 1-800-661-0792.
