- Increase in Psychological Injury Claims: The Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) reported a rise in psychological injury claims, from 174 in 2017 to 238 in 2021. This increase underscores the need for specialized services and support for workers facing psychological challenges [CTV News].
- Rising Mental Disorder Claims: In 2021, WorkSafeBC received 6,532 mental disorder claims, reflecting the growing recognition of mental health issues in the workplace. The pandemic and other stressors have intensified these challenges, as indicated by the increase in claims among nurses from 496 in 2019 to 784 in 2021 [OHS Canada Magazine].
