WCB Reporting

Management is responsible for completing the required "EMPLOYER" reports for the WCB as identified below.  Management is also responsible for ensuring that employees and contractors complete the required "WORKER" report form.

All employees or contract employees must complete the required WCB report forms when an injury sustained required medical aid, (when a Doctor is visited regarding an occupational injury or illness).

When a worker sustains an injury while at a Company work site that requires medical attention, the required reports must be completed, even if no time is lost.  Attending physicians are required to ask if an injury was sustained at work and will fill out the WCB forms.  WCB will contact the Employer if the Doctor's form is completed and the EMPLOYER and WORKER forms are not.

An injury becomes recordable if one full, normally scheduled day / shift is missed from work due to an injury or occupational illness.  If the claim is valid, compensation may be paid to the injured worker for time and wages lost, and any out of pocket expenses incurred due to the injury.
