If you are injured at work, there are three things you need to do immediately: Seek medical attention, report your injury to your employer and report your injury to the WCB using the Worker’s Initial Report of Injury (W1) form. Learn how to file a claim with the WCB and what you’ll need to file your claim. Find information specific to temporary foreign workers and workers who are injured out of province.

If you need personal care (help with hygiene, dressing, mobility, feeding and/or supervision) as a result of your work injury, you may be eligible for a personal care allowance from the WCB. Learn when you may qualify for a personal care allowance and what happens if you need permanent care.

If you’ve been seriously injured on the job, or if a loved one has died from a work-related incident, we’re here to help you. You can get support from the WCB. Find out what support may be available to you in these situations and what to expect from the WCB.
