Policy section content
Section detail
- The respective Saskatchewan health region is designated as the “Employer” and will be responsible for maintaining records of approved emergencies and the first responders eligible for coverage under this policy.
- The respective health region is responsible for reporting all injuries to the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB).
- Employer Services will verify, on an annual basis, the list of the health regions with the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO) as listed in Schedule A to POL 07/2005.
- In the event of a claim Employer Services will verify with the health regions that the claimant is a registered first responder and the appropriate health region rate code will be used for cost identification purposes.
- Cost statements will be issued to the appropriate health region and the cost of extending coverage to eligible first responders will be reflected in future premiums charged to the health region.
- Coverage is in effect from notification of an emergency, and includes travel from the individual's residence or location to the site of the incident and return, provided there is no deviation for personal reasons. Coverage does not extend to situations where a first responder is acting as a “Good Samaritan” without the authority of a call out from a health region.
