Purchasing POP policies

Personal Optional Protection policies can be purchased by:
  • Partners or proprietors (and proprietors' spouses) in a non-limited company
  • Owners of non-incorporated independent firms
  • Non-B.C. residents conducting business in B.C., providing they meet the other criteria for POP coverage

Note:

If you are an owner or shareholder in an incorporated company and work for that company, you are considered a worker by WorkSafeBC. As such, POP does not apply to you.

To apply

Apply online or print the Personal Optional Protection insurance application package, (PDF 1.67mb) which includes the POP and the Registration applications, and send it to the WorkSafeBC Assessment Department, P.O. Box 5350, Station Terminal, Vancouver, BC V6B 5L5 or fax it to 604 244-6490.
