The Power Workers do everything we can to make sure that the places where our members work are safe, but some workplace injuries and occupational diseases still occur. If you are injured on the job, Workers' Compensation (WSIB) will limit your exposure to lost wages and make sure you don't lose valuable sick leave as a result.
Workers' Compensation is a no fault work injury insurance program administered by the Provincial Government and funded entirely by employers. It provides financial protection, health care benefits and rehabilitation services to workers and their dependents for injury, disease or death arising out of and in the course of employment.
If you require medical attention or lose time due to an on-the-job injury, notify your employer immediately. The employer is responsible for filing an Employers' Report of Accidental Injury or Industrial Disease form with the Board within three days. The employee is also required to file a claim as soon as possible after the accident has occurred. If you suspect that report hasn't been filed or if you wish to file a claim for compensation, contact your Steward immediately. The Power Workers have full time staff experts who will make sure you're treated fairly.
