Employers must report workplace injuries to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) if:
- the worker received outside health care treatment,
- missed work, or
- lost wages.
The WSIB Form 7 must be completed within 3 calendar days of learning about the injury.
Workplace injuries that only require first aid, provided at the worksite, do not need to be reported to the WSIB. The employer must keep the first aid treatment records. Some examples of first aid include treating minor cuts, scrapes, scratches, or burns.
More information is available on the WSIB website.
