WSIB

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is a Canadian organization that provides insurance coverage for workers injured or maimed on the job. It funds medical care, rehabilitation, and lost wages, ensuring employees receive support during recovery. Employers pay premiums to WSIB to cover potential claims. The goal is to promote workplace safety, support workers’ health, and facilitate safe return to work. WSIB also works with employers to improve safety standards and reduce workplace injuries. Essentially, it acts as a safety net that helps workers and employers manage workplace-related injuries and illnesses effectively.
