Injured Workers Handbook

CUPE Ontario Injured Workers Advocacy Committee recognizes the need to assist CUPE members in matters relating to WSIB.
This includes all concerns from the initial filing of a claim to an Early and Safe Return to Work. The purpose of this handbook is to:
• Acquaint workers with their rights and the employers’ obligations under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act.
• Provide a guide to the WSIB claim process including the proper procedures and how to obtain appropriate benefits. We sincerely hope the need never arises, but should you require assistance with a workplace injury or disease, please contact your local Union Office.
In solidarity,
CUPE Ontario’s Injured Workers Advocacy Committee
