What is the Reporting Obligation and Responsibility of the The Bagg Group when a worker is injured on the job?
Employers must report a work related accident/illness to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) if they learn that a worker requires health care and/or: • Is absent from regular work • Earns less than regular pay for regular work (e.g., Only working partial hours) • Requires modified work at less than regular pay. Reporting is also required if, following the date of the work related accident/illness, the worker does not receive health care but requires modified work at regular pay for more than seven calendar days. The WSIB uses a variety of forms to collect accident information from an employer. In every case, the information must be sufficient to allow the WSIB to set up a claim. These include what are known as WSIB Form 7, WSIB Form 1492, and WSIB Form 6.
