Reporting workplace injuries early is good for your business

If you don’t report the injury to us in five business days, you will receive a fine or penalty for late reporting.

It is a best practice for you to help your worker report the injury. When the worker reports the injury to you, ask them to report it to the WCB right away. Offer them a quiet place (like an office or meeting room) to call the WCB.

Workers and healthcare providers need to report a workplace injury to the WCB.

If we learn about an injury at your business from your worker or your worker’s healthcare provider, we will still contact you to get your incident report. This is usually done over the phone.
