EAO Talks - Relief of Costs

Our next virtual EAO Talk is scheduled for March 19, 2026, at 10am.

When a worker has a pre-existing disease, condition, or disability, employers may be eligible to have a portion of the claim costs removed from their WorkSafeBC account. This process, known as Relief of Costs under section 240(1)(d) of the Workers Compensation Act (ROC), can affect an employer’s experience rating and premium assessment. Join us for this live EAO Talk to learn more about:

• When ROC applies
• How WorkSafeBC determines the amount of ROC
• Tips for employers and appeal options
• Other forms of cost relief

Note: No certificates will be issued for this session. This session was first presented in December 2025.

This live EAO Talk is limited to 100 participants. Recordings of earlier EAO Talks are available here.

EAO Talks is an informational seminar series designed to provide employers with focused, practical information on topics related to WorkSafeBC and your responsibilities under the Workers Compensation Act. These Talks are in addition to our regular seminar offerings. To register for upcoming sessions, or view recordings of past EAO Talks, please see our education website.
