You are able to submit a High Hazard Work Notification in Inuktitut or any of the official languages of Nunavut or the Northwest Territories. To submit a request, email your notification to the Chief Safety Officer (CSO) with the following information: 

If you have a project beginning on or before May 9, 2025 do not wait for the launch of the new e-service. You are required to submit any new High Hazard Work Notifications 30 days before the start date of your project. The new e-service will not be online before your submission deadline. Not submitting on time may result in delays for your project start date. 

The WSCC is offering a one-year grace period for people to learn how to use this new reporting tool. While we encourage you to set yourself up with this service right away, if you need more time or support, you can use the existing PDF High Hazard Work Notification form up until April 9, 2026. After that date, all High Hazard Work Notifications must be submitted through WSCC Connect. 

Work activities that are considered to present a significant risk to workers are considered high hazard work. The WSCC Connect tool has seven categories that correspond with the legislated reporting requirements, which are:

If the work you do does not fall under one of the types of high hazard work listed in the WSCC Connect tool, you do not have to submit a notification. However, all employers still have a responsibility to provide a healthy and safe workplace for all of their employees.
 

The person responsible for the worksite is required to submit the High Hazard Work Notification. This person or business is at times referred to as the ‘principal contractor’. However, the individual who can submit the notification could be the owner of the company, a site supervisor, the project manager in charge of the work, or the person responsible for safety on the job site. 

Once you have submitted your High Hazard Work Notification via WSCC Connect, you will receive a confirmation email, which will include a High Hazard Work Notification number. When your project start date arrives, print off this confirmation and post it on your job site’s safety board. We also recommend filing a copy in your digital or printed records.
