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 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.

New in the 2012 Edition:
  • A section on the Board's Operational Policy Manual and the Board's proposed process for policy development as set out in the draft Framework for Policy Development and Renewal.
  • Update of the Board's Safety Incentive Programs, including an overview of the Safety Communities Incentive Program and the Safety Groups Program.
  • Reference to the Good Government Act, 2011, which amended provisions of the WSIA.
  • Update of the Board's Workplace Reintegration Program, including an overview of the six new operational policies now in effect.
  • A discussion on the Board's significant shortfall in funding, known as the Unfunded Liability, and the steps taken by the Board to address this issue.
