This release was issued under a previous government.

Albertans can search the employer records site by employer name, city or town, and industry to find occupational health and safety information on more than 155,000 employers.

Records stretch back to 2009 and users can sort employers by their lost-time claims, disabling injury rates, and fatality numbers.

“Our employer records site is a reminder to employers that their health and safety performance is a matter of public record. I encourage Albertans to use this information when looking for a good place to work.”

Ric McIver, Minister of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour

The site provides provincial, industry, and employer-specific information on employers insured by the Workers’ Compensation Board. Data includes:

  • the number of lost-time claims and the lost-time claim rate (claims where workers take time away from work);
  • person-years estimates (a person-year is equal to one full-time employee’s hours for a year);
  • disabling injury rates (lost-time claims plus claims for modified duties);
  • the number of fatalities due to work-related motor vehicle collisions, workplace incidents and occupational disease; and
  • whether each employer holds a Certificate of Recognition.

Employer records information is available at work.alberta.ca/EmployerRecords and will also be made available on the Alberta Government’s Open Data Portal later this fall.
