WorkSafeBC has paid out 13 death claims related to COVID-19 in 2021. In 2020, that number was just one. These are COVID-19 deaths where the agency has determined that there was a connection between COVID-19 infection and workplace spread. While it’s possible, even likely, that some of the 2021 deaths occurred in 2020, this figure offers grim evidence that work continued to be unsafe over the course of the pandemic: rather than getting better at protecting workers, it’s gotten worse.
