General Information

On December 11, 2002 the Information and Privacy Commissioner sent a letter to the Yukon Workers' Compensation Health & Safety Board. He stated that, in his opinion, the Yukon Workers' Compensation Health & Safety Board is not a public body as defined within the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP). This policy addresses the resulting gap in direction. 

Purpose

The Yukon Workers' Compensation Health & Safety Board is committed to upholding the principles of the Yukon ATIPP Act. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the Yukon Workers' Compensation Health & Safety Board releases information appropriately and in a timely manner while protecting personal privacy.
