Topic: Set up your online services account

Set up your online services account

Our online services give workers, employers, providers, and their representatives a variety of tools to view information and complete tasks in an easy, fast, and secure way.

To get started, you first need to create your online services profile. The second step is to link your profile to online services to access time-saving tools and features. Then you can request or grant access to tools within our online services. 

Shared accounts: With the implementation of mandatory two-factor authentication, shared accounts are no longer supported. Each person must create and use their own online services profile. If multiple people need access to the same account, an administrator can grant access to individual profiles.

Step 1: Create an online services profile

You can create an online services profile with an email address and password. Alternatively, you can sign up and log in using a trusted partner login instead of an email address and password.

Injured workers who recently reported their injury by phone: If you provided both your phone number and email address when you reported your injury, we’ve already created your profile. Select Forgot my password on the login page and follow the prompts to create your password. Then, skip to step 7.

Sign up with an email address and password

  1. Go to the Login page.
  2. Click the Sign up with email button.
  3. Enter the required information to create your online services profile. When you’re done, click Continue.
  4. To verify your email address, we’ll send an email with a verification link. If you don’t see this email in your inbox, check your junk or spam folder.
  5. Once you click the verification link, you’ll be prompted to create a password for your account. Confirm your password and click Continue.
  6. You’ll see a message indicating you’ve successfully created your online services profile. Click Log in.
  7. Enter your email address and the password you just created and click Log in.
  8. You’ll be asked how you’d like to set up two-factor authentication. This provides an additional layer of security by sending a code to your email or phone that you will need to enter each time you log in.

    Choose how you’d like to receive future codes — either by email or by text message. If you choose "By text message (SMS)," you’ll be asked to provide the cellphone number you’d like to use for two-factor authentication. This phone number can be different from the number used when setting up your profile.
  9. You’ll be sent a 6-digit code to verify your phone number. Enter this code and click Continue.
  10. You’ll be asked if you want to add your device as a trusted device. This will reduce how often you’re asked for a six-digit code. You may still be asked to verify your identity if you use a different wi-fi network or a security risk is detected.

Once you’ve created your profile, go to Step 2 for instructions on linking your online services profile to the online services you'd like to use.

Step 2: Link your profile to services

Select the tab that matches the type of account you want to access and follow the instructions to link your online services profile.

Link your profile to:

Before you start, you will need:

  • A valid payroll report ID (if you can’t locate yours, please contact our Employer Service Centre) or Internet Application Reference Number
  • Your WorkSafeBC account number

Steps:

  1. Log in to your online services profile.
  2. Scroll down and click the button labelled Access my WorkSafeBC account.
  3. Enter your WorkSafeBC account number and click Continue.
  4. Every online services account requires at least one administrator. What displays next depends on whether the account already has an online administrator:
    • If there is no existing administrator for your account, you’ll be prompted to provide either your payroll report ID or Internet Application Reference Number. When you provide these and click Continue, you’ll be prompted to confirm you are authorized to become an administrator for this account by clicking Continue again.
    • If an online administrator already exists for this account, you’ll be asked if you want to:
      1. Become an administrator by providing the payroll report ID or Internet Application Reference Number, clicking Continue, and confirming you’ve been authorized to access the online services profile for this business by clicking Continue again, or
      2. Request access from an existing administrator. If you select this option, you’ll be provided with a list of administrators for the account. Select which administrator(s) you’d like to request access from, and click Continue. An email will be sent to the selected person or people.

If you successfully provide either the account’s payroll report ID or Internet Application Reference Number, you’ll see a success message. Once you click Continue, the page will refresh, and you’ll have access to your firm’s online account. Your account includes basic online tools for employers. To request additional tools, please see Step 3: Add online tools below.

If you have questions about your WorkSafeBC insurance or the transition to digital statements, please contact our Employer Service Centre at 604.244.6181 or toll-free at 1.888.922.2768.

For help setting up your online services account, email us at ASMTonlinehelp@worksafebc.com. A team member will reach out to guide you through the process.

Once you've created your online services profile, the next step is to link My Worker Services to your profile.

To do this, you'll need your Customer Care number. You may have received this number when you reported your injury by phone. You can also find it at the top of most letters we've sent about your claim. If you don’t have your Customer Care number, please contact our Claims Call Centre at 604.231.8888 or toll-free 1.888.967.5377.

Steps:

  1. Log in to your online services profile.
  2. Scroll down and click the button labelled Access my claim.
  3. Enter your Customer Care number and click Continue.

    If you recently reported your injury through Teleclaim and provided your phone number and email address during the call, you’ll have access to your claim information online and you’re all done.

    Otherwise, please continue to step 4.

  4. If there is no administrator on the account, you'll automatically continue to step 6. If there is already an administrator, choose whether you’d like to become an administrator or if you’d like to request access from the account’s administrator and click Continue.
  5. If you choose to request access from an administrator, you’ll be shown the administrator(s) on the account. Select which administrator(s) you’d like to request access from and click Send request.
  6. If there is no administrator on the account yet or you choose to become an administrator, you’ll need to indicate if you’re accessing your own claim or a claim for someone you’re helping.
    • If you’re accessing your own claim, you can verify your identity using either one of our Trusted Partners or by entering your Personal Access number. If you don’t have your Personal Access number, contact our Claims Call Centre.
    • If you’re helping someone else with their claim, you’ll need to provide the worker’s Personal Access number. The injured worker may have received their Personal Access number by mail at the beginning of their claim. If they don’t know their Personal Access number, they can contact our Claims Call Centre. Please note that we can only provide Personal Access numbers directly to injured workers.

If you’ve successfully verified your identity, you’ll see a success message. Once you click Continue, you’ll have access to your claim information online.

Before you start, you will need:

  • Your WorkSafeBC or MSP payee number
  • The claim number and name of an injured worker you’ve served

Steps:

  1. Log in to your online services profile.
  2. Scroll down and click the button labelled Access my provider account.
  3. Enter your WorkSafeBC or MSP payee number and click Continue.
  4. Every online services account requires at least one administrator. What displays next depends on whether the account already has an online administrator.
    • If there is no existing administrator for your account, you’ll be prompted to provide the claim number and last name of the worker you’ve provided services to. When you provide these and click Continue, you’ll be prompted to confirm you are authorized to become an administrator for this account by clicking Continue again.
    • If an online administrator already exists for this account, you’ll be asked if you want to:
      1. Become an administrator by providing the claim number and last name of an injured worker you’ve serviced and confirming you’ve been authorized to access the online services profile by clicking Continue, or
      2. Request access from an existing administrator. If you select this option, you’ll be provided with a list of administrators for the account. Select which administrator(s) you’d like to request access from, and click Continue. An email will be sent to the selected person or people.

If you successfully provide an injured worker’s claim number and last name, you’ll see a success message. Once you click Continue, the page will refresh, and you will have access to your firm’s provider account. Your account includes some basic online tools for providers. To request additional tools, please see Step 3: Add online tools below.

If you’re a provider with multiple payee numbers for different locations or businesses, then you may want to add additional payee numbers to your account. In this case, use the button labelled Access my provider account and repeat the previous process with this additional payee information.

If you don’t have a WorkSafeBC or MSP payee number, please contact procurement@worksafebc.com to find out how to request one.
