Workplace Safety and Insurance Act

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Act is a law that protects workers in Canada by providing compensation for those who are injured or become ill due to their job. It ensures that employees receive financial support for medical treatments and lost wages, while also promoting workplace safety to prevent injuries. Employers contribute to a fund that covers these costs, and the Act also helps facilitate return-to-work programs. Overall, it aims to support workers and enhance safety across various industries, creating a safer work environment for everyone.
