What does the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) do?
The WSIB is part of an Ontario-wide system. The system is designed to help protect workers from injury or illness in the workplace, and to help them if they do suffer an injury. Most Ontario employers have workplace insurance coverage by law. Employers pay the premiums for their workers and are not allowed to deduct them from workers’ wages. It is a no-fault insurance system, which means that the worker cannot generally sue the employer.
