Report an Injury as Soon as Possible – Within Five Business Days
If a worker is hurt on the job and they need to get medical attention or take time off to recover, you need to file a report with the WCB as soon as you can. This needs to be within five business days from the date the worker was injured or the day you found out about the injury.
Reporting Workplace Injuries Early Is Good for Your Business
If you don’t report the injury to us in five business days, you will receive a fine or penalty for late reporting.

Your worker also needs to report the injury to the WCB and provide us some information to process the claim. It is a best practice for you to help your worker report the injury. When the worker reports the injury to you, ask them to report it to the WCB right away - give them a quiet place (like an office or meeting room) to call the WCB.Help Your Worker Report the Injury
Workers and healthcare providers also need to report a workplace injury to the WCB. If we learn about an injury at your business from your worker or your worker's healthcare provider, we will still contact you to get your report of the incident. This is usually done over the phone.
