Workers

If you are injured at work or have symptoms of a work-related illness, you must:

  • Step 1: Report it to your employer immediately.
  • Step 2: Seek medical attention and tell your doctor your injury is work related. Your employer is responsible for your transportation costs from your workplace to a doctor’s office or hospital.
  • Step 3: Start a claim by reporting it to WorkSafeBC as soon as possible. If you miss work time as a result of your injury, call our Teleclaim Contact Centre. Otherwise, complete and submit an Application for Compensation. Reports can be submitted by mail or fax.
