Program Details

The federally regulated Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is excluded from provincial workers' compensation across Canada and, therefore, the Accident on Set insurance program provides protection for all performers.

As of January 1, 2009, amendments were made to the CBC Collective Agreement so that cost is negotiated as part of the insurance contribution.  One per cent (1%) of insurable earnings up to $100,000 per eligible performer per production is now earmarked for the program.

Accident on Set insurance coverage is automatically extended for all eligible performers working under a CBC contract. Producers are not required to submit an application.
