The law

Workers compensation and clearances
Contractors generally must register with the province's workers compensation board, and general contractors commonly require a clearance letter before a sub mobilizes. Check current requirements at worksafenb.ca.
Coming from another province
Your home certificate or training does not automatically transfer. Check with the destination regulator at worksafenb.ca before mobilizing.
