If you have an injury or disease that is related to your job, always apply for workers’ compensation. The Board will decide if you are covered or not. Also report your injury to your employer as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
If you are in a union, ask your union representative if you are covered by workers’ compensation. If you are not in a union, call the Board to see if your employer is, or should be, registered with them. For most of Ontario, call toll-free at 1-800-387-0750<\/strong>. In the Toronto area, call 416-344-1000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
If your employer is not registered with the Board, but should be, you are still covered.<\/p>\n
