Were you injured at work?

. Injured Workers

A work injury is the result of any work-related event that causes a need for medical treatment and/or time away from work. We consider each work injury on an individual basis, but in most cases compensation would apply to injuries that occur while a worker is at work, on company premises or on company business. This includes an occupational disease caused by work.

Take these following steps:

  • 1

    Get medical attention if you need it. Have your health care provider report to the WCB.

  • 2

    Report the incident to your employer immediately.

  • 3

    Report your injury to the WCB by completing the Worker's Report of Injury (W1) form. Create a WCB Online Account to quickly complete the W1 form.
