Initial injury or illness self-evaluator for businesses 

Timely, accurate and complete initial reporting of work-related injuries or illnesses enables faster claims and benefits decisions. This ensures people receive the health care they need to recover and safely return to work sooner and your business complies with your responsibilities and obligations under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act.

You can learn more about your reporting obligations and how to report an injury or illness if one of your employees experiences a work-related injury or illness. You must report a work-related injury or illness to us within three business days of learning about it.

We’ve developed the following self-evaluator to help you:

  • understand your roles and responsibilities when a work-related injury or illness occurs
  • evaluate if you’re complying with legislative requirements
  • identify and address any issues in your injury or illness reporting processes

We won’t record your responses anywhere. This tool is intended only as a helpful guide
