Am I covered by WSIB if I get hurt on the job?
All Humber employees are covered by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) if they are hurt on the job and meet eligibility requirements for coverage (e.g. obtain health professional care; lose time from work past the day of the incident).
If you are hurt on the job, you should:
- Inform your direct manager of the workplace injury/accident as soon as possible.
- Your manager will report the incident to Occupational Health & Safety within one day using the Health & Safety Incident Report.
- Occupational Health & Safety will review the incident report and inform the Senior Abilities and Accommodation Specialist if the incident is a reportable WSIB claim.
