Workplace Safety and Insurance Board
Most businesses in Ontario that employ workers must register with the WSIB within 10 days of hiring their first full or part-time worker. It is the law.
Benefits of WSIB Registration:
Protection from Lawsuits:WSIB benefits replace the worker's right to sue the employer for similar benefits.
No-Fault Insurance:The WSIB generally does not consider who is at fault when determining benefits.
Workplace Insurance Benefits for Your Workers:WSIB insurance replaces lost earnings, covers health care costs resulting from work-related injuries and illnesses, and supports return to work.
Prevention and Training Programs:The WSIB and our prevention partners provide numerous training and education programs that help you prevent workplace injuries and illness before they cost you money.
Help in Returning Your Workers to the Job:The WSIB claims management team will help you ensure that your worker gets effective health care and gets back to work as soon as possible.
