Regulation and Policy in the Fishing Industry
In two recent decisions the Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal identified a need to clarify the way in which the fishing industry is to be assessed. At issue are the regulation and/or policy changes that would be required in order to clarify:
- the proper identification of firms that must pay assessment premiums in the fishing industry, and
- the manner in which such firms' assessment premium amounts may be calculated.
The Policy and Research Division has developed a discussion paper on Regulation and Policy in the Fishing Industry (PDF 100kb) for consideration by stakeholders.
Stakeholders are invited to review the discussion paper, options, and draft regulations and policy, and provide feedback until September 30, 2005. When responding, please provide your name, organization, and address. Comments may be sent by mail, fax or e-mail to:
| By mail: | Cameron Angus Policy Analyst Policy and Research Division Workers' Compensation Board P.O. Box 5350, Stn Terminal Vancouver, BC V6B 5L5 |
| By fax: | 604 279-7599 |
| By e-mail: | policy@worksafebc.com |
WorkSafeBC's governing body, the Board of Directors, will consider the opinions expressed by stakeholders before it adopts any amendments to the current policies.
Please note that all comments become part of the Policy and Research
Division's database and may be published, including the identity of organizations
and those participating on behalf of organizations. The identity of those
who have participated on their own behalf will be kept confidential according
to the provisions of the Freedom
