Description:

The Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Act governs the administration of the province’s workplace insurance regime, including revenue generation through fees and levies on registered firms and claims administration for injured workers. Although only a quasi-government agency, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is perhaps second only to the federal income tax administration in terms of its impact on individual businesses and organizations. Understanding the WSIB employer requirements is vital to cost control and effective employee management.

The Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Act: Quick Reference, 2009 Edition outlines all the key employer requirements, including registration, fees and levies, accident reporting and claims administration and return to work/accommodation requirements. This concise guide also contains the full text of the Act, and a helpful index to the full contents of the guide.

The 2009 edition features:

A summary of new occupational disease policies that the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board is in the process of developing.
Identification of eServices recently introduced by the Board to assist both employers and employees.
A summary of the New Service Delivery Model (NSDM) launched by the Board to improve the effectiveness of return-to-work.
A detailed new section on the new Workplace Safety and Insurance Act regulation introducing comprehensive return to work obligations in the construction industry.
A summary of the advantages of Voluntary Registration for employers who are required to register with the Board, but have not yet done so.
The introduction of a section dealing with the new Board policy allowing for claim adjustments in the event of a traumatic work-related fatality.
