What is Workplace Injuries?
Did you have a bad slip, trip, or fall in the workplace? Maybe you were hit by a falling object and were injured? Performing your standard workplace duties and were hurt by muscle strain, or even a repetitive straining injury?
Above are some of the most common injuries that can happen at the workplace. Unfortunately, it is not unheard of for workers to be injured in the workplace. We aim to have our clients back to a healthy condition as efficiently as possible, so it’s vital that we take the proper steps.
If you have been injured at the workplace, your first priority is to get appropriate medical attention. Please notify the workplace supervisor immediately so that they can fill out the mandatory incident report form right away to start a claim for you.
We are fully registered with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
