Self-Help Kit: Workplace Safety and Insurance Board

This self-help kit was developed for members who suffered an injury at the workplace, whose claims were denied by the WSIB and do not meet the ONA representation criteria.

The kit provides information to support an injured worker to appeal an adverse decision of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) on their own or with assistance from a family member or friend.

Please also note that while this kit has been prepared for the purposes of assisting members with WSIB appeals, it is not intended to be relied on as professional legal advice. The self-help kit is also based on the WSIB appeals system in place at the time of writing and does not account for any future changes in laws, policies and procedures relevant to WSIB appeals.

If you wish to obtain legal advice or representation, it is recommended you contact a professional legal representative. Please see the Useful Resources list for additional options.
