| Q. |

| |
| Q. |
What are the benefits of registering with the WSIB? |
| A. |
Apart from being in compliance with the law, WSIB registration provides
the following benefits:
Protection from Lawsuits
WSIB benefits replace the worker's right to sue the employer for
similar benefits.
No-Fault Insurance
The WSIB generally does not consider who is at fault when determining
benefits.
Workplace Insurance Benefits for Your Workers
WSIB insurance replaces lost earnings, covers health care costs
resulting from work-related injuries and illnesses, and supports
return to work.
Prevention and Training Programs
Workplace illness and injury doesn't just hurt your workers: it
can deprive you of essential staff and can seriously affect your
company's productivity. The WSIB and our prevention partners provide
numerous training and education programs that help you prevent injuries
and illness before they cost you money.
Help in Returning Your Workers to the Job
Getting injured staff back on the job sooner means your business
can return to full productivity more quickly. It also means your
insurance claim will be smaller and your premiums may be reduced.
The WSIB claims management team will help you ensure that your worker
gets effective health care and gets back to work as soon as possible.
