WCB Worker Orientation – Roles and Responsibilities

A key method in avoiding a lost time claim/incident (LTCI) is making sure workers are familiar with their duties in relation to WCB and occupational injuries. The purpose of this orientation is to help workers understand their rights, roles, and responsibilities pertaining to workplace return.

COURSE OUTLINE

It's crucial for employees to be knowledgeable about the return to work protocol and the availability of modified duties. By providing yearly orientation to both new and existing staff, you can demonstrate that they were informed about their rights, roles, and responsibilities, especially in the WCB Worker Orientation - Roles and Responsibilities course, should a workplace mishap occur.

Moreover, by educating them about the WCB procedures, you foster a culture that promotes involvement, allowing you to handle work-related injuries with a prompt and safe return to work. This lessens the effect a claim can have on both the employee and the organization.
