Home / Services / Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)  

WSIB, formerly known as the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB), assists return to work and provides insurance for injuries and illnesses incurred in workplaces covered under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act.

Our office can make inquiries into the status of your claim. We also provide advice on the right direction as to handling an appeal and what is needed for your appeal. We do not, however, handle appeals.

If you are unionised, your union must assist you with your WSIB claim. If you are not unionised and have no representation, the Office of the Worker Adviser (OWA) provides free services and helps you with your claim. You can call your local OWA at (416) 235-5550 and arrange to speak to someone who specialises in giving advice over the phone.

If you need more help than can be provided over the phone, you can go in to the office for a meeting to discuss your problem. The OWA also represents workers on appeals at the WSIB and up to the final level of appeal at the Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal.

If you wish to have our office look into your claim, please contact us .
