Report your injury or illness as soon as possible to your supervisor or employer. You must do this within 30 days. It’s best to do it before leaving work, so that it is very clear that the injury or illness occurred at work (not at home.) A co-worker can report it for you. Because a minor problem could get worse, it is best to report it. Make notes about what happened, which supervisor was told, and who witnessed the injury. Remember it is illegal for your employer to threaten, discipline or harass you for making such a report.
See a doctor as soon as possible, describe what happened and make sure they note that it happened at work. Tell the hospital or doctor’s billing staff this is a compensation case and to bill your employer’s insurance carrier. Besides notifying your employer and getting medical treatment, you must get a C-3 form from the Workers’ Compensation Board and file it to start your case.
