If you are injured or become ill at work

1. Get medical help

Get first aid right away

• If you need further treatment, go to a health professional. Your employer pays for your transportation on the day of injury

If first aid is the only treatment received, you do not need to report to the WSIB. If you’re not sure contact wsib.

2. Document

• Tell your employer about any medical treatment you received as soon as possible and let them know about any additional information you received about your injury or illness.
• You must investigate and keep a detailed record of what happened, and the steps you take to correct the issue

3. Report to the WSIB

Report your injury or illness if:

• you need treatment from a health professional (beyond first aid), or
• you aren’t able to go to work, or
• you are being paid less or receiving fewer hours of work

do not have to report your injury or illness to us if all three of the following apply:

• you only needed first aid, and
• you did not take any time off work, and
• your pay was not affected

If your dentures, glasses and/or artificial appliances are damaged in a workplace accident, you are eligible to claim benefits for repairing or replacing these devices even if you have no other injuries.
