As the owner/operator of a small motel, can I personally opt out of the WorkSafeBC program?
Yes, as “a proprietor” (or a spouse) you are not automatically covered for compensation benefits; you can, however, apply for Personal Optional Protection (POP) from WorkSafeBC. Details of this coverage can be explained by the Employer Service Centre, 604-244-6181, or toll-free at 1-888- 922-2768.
