The Record

An independent archive of WorkSafeBC claim experiences in British Columbia.

Your story is evidence.

Not of your pain — of a pattern. Every account submitted here becomes part of an independent record that cannot be dismissed as a single complaint. Anonymous. Secure. Permanent.

What we are

A worker-led project trying to document what’s actually happening in the B.C. compensation system.
A toolkit to help injured workers organize their evidence and push back.

What we’re not

We are not WorkSafeBC.
We are not your employer or your union.
We are not a law firm and we don’t sell or trade your data.

How we use this

Your story will never be shared with WorkSafeBC, your employer, or any third party without your explicit permission.
You can tell your story without using your real name or email.
We use these stories to understand patterns, improve the toolkit, and show decision-makers what’s really happening.

Can we share your story publicly?

You may share my story publicly, with all names redactedDo not share my story publicly; use it only for pattern tracking

This is not legal advice. Submitting does not guarantee representation or a specific outcome. Institutions may still stonewall or delay. We will redact individual names if any part of your story is shared publicly.

I understand this is not legal advice and that you can’t guarantee an outcome. I consent to you storing and reviewing this information.

Not funded by WorkSafeBC or government.

This is an independent record. It belongs to no government body, no insurer, no law firm. It exists because one injured worker built it, and because what happened to them happens to thousands of people every year in British Columbia. Everything here — every tactic, every template, every precedent, every story — was built to change that.
