Error message saying “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable”
Here are your best options:
- If this is not your first time using the installer program you can try uninstalling eAuditor, and reinstalling.
- If you have an IT group to contact, ensure that you are not being blocked from installing this program properly by a virus scanner or other security software.
- If the above-mentioned does not help there may be an issue with your temporary file directory, which is where the installation files for eAuditor are placed. You can try to download just the “NBCSA eAuditor Installer.msi” file mentioned in the error and install using that instead of the full installer. Grab it here.

Error message saying “Repair or Remove”
This error means you are trying to open the installer rather than the eAuditor file (.aud file). Copy and paste the eAuditor file from your Audit Kit email to your desktop and double click to open. Do not open the audit file directly from the email. You will lose any changes you make to the audit the next time you open it.

Warning message saying “This audit was created on (yyyy/mm/dd) and has been active for more than the 120 day limit (expiry date: yyyy/mm/dd). Please contact NBCSA for assistance.”
The eAuditor is only writable for 120 days. If you have received the above warning your completion time has reached expiry. Please contact NBCSA COR Department and request a new eAuditor.

How do I submit my audit results to NBCSA for review?
When completed, simply attach (copy and paste) the eAuditor file (.aud file) from your desktop to an email and send it back to NBCSA via email. Please do not send back just the Audit Results Report, the eAuditor file (.aud file) is needed for processing your audit.

What is a NAICS code and where do I find it?
NAICS code is your North American Industrial Classification System code issued to you through WorkSafeNB. Your NAICS code is determined by the company’s scope of work and can be found on your Experience Rating Form issued from WorkSafeNB.

Can multiple people work on and complete the audit using the eAuditor?
Yes, however, the eAuditor is not a web-based application, you can work on and share the same file with your saved progress to another auditor but must use the same file. It is important to note that when sharing the eAuditor, only one person can update your progress at a time.
Back to Index
How to save my progress?
The audit file that was opened is automatically updated without having to do a “Save” or “Save As” command. If you exit eAuditor and return later by double clicking the same audit file, your changes will be saved. If you run into an issue with corruption, please contact NBCSA immediately.

Interview boxes grayed out in the Questions section.
The interview questions need to be answered in the Interview section (2b. Enter Audit>Interviews). Once they are answered in the proper section they will show as answered in the Questions section. (Note: there are employee Interviews and Management Interviews, they both need to be answered for the audit to show as completed.)

Why are sections of the eAuditor not turning Green to show completion?
Please ensure that you mark all questions in the audit with either a check (for positive confirmation) or an X (for negative confirmation). To exclude a question, click the “X” in the blue box on the top left corner of the question. If you leave any questions blank the audit will not be considered completed.

Can a tablet be used to do the eLearning courses?
Completing the eLearning course on a tablet will work but to avoid any potential issues, a PC or Laptop is the suggested device. We ask that you do not use your smartphone to try and complete any eLearning course. If you don’t have access to either a computer or tablet, please contact your employer for an alternative method.
For more information, please contact registration@nbcsa.ca or call (506) 627-1477.

What browser is best to use for the eLearning course?
There are many web browsers to choose from, but we recommend using Google Chrome for PC users. For Mac users, we recommend Safari if you do not use Google Chrome. Other web browsers also work but Google Chrome has shown less issues than others.
For more information, please contact registration@nbcsa.ca or call (506) 627-1477.
When do you do the test(s)?
Each eLearning course has a test at the end when all modules are completed. However, there are some courses which have several questions within the modules to be completed prior to moving forward to the next slide.
For more information, please contact registration@nbcsa.ca or call (506) 627-1477.
