WCB 101: Hurt at Work? How to Report an Injury
2020-07-16
Incident Reporting
When an employee is injured, the last thing on anyone's mind is paperwork. No one wants to wait and watch the mail for forms that will have to be filled out and sent back in order to get people the compensation they need. But somebody has to provide an incident report...and the sooner that report gets to the WCB, the sooner it can be processed and the sooner we can get an injured worker back to health and work.
So the WCB is making incident reporting easier...by moving it online.
