How to Report Workplace Incidents or Injuries

1. Report your injury immediately to your employer

Your employer is responsible for getting you any necessary first aid, and for transporting you to a medical facility if that’s what you need. Be sure to keep in touch with your employer if you need to be off work.

2. See your physician

Your doctor will recommend treatment for your injury and may refer you to other health care practitioners. Be sure to ask about what modified work duties, and activities at home, you can do to help your recovery. And always let your health care provider know that you were injured at work.

3. Report your injury to WCB

If you’ve missed work, call Teleclaim. If you haven’t missed work but sought medical attention, we recommend reporting online. Before you report your injury, please review the information you’ll need to provide.
