First, if you are injured at work, no matter what the injury, take care of yourself. As soon as possible, report your injury to your boss and seek health care.
You need to follow the advice of your health care professional to ensure you heal properly and safely.
There are several different types of benefits and services availabe from the WCB, designed to help you recover from your injury or illness as you return to work or to help keep you and your family secure from the impact of a workplace injury.
When it’s appropriate to start looking at getting back to work focus on what you CAN do, not what you can’t. Don't let an injury take over your whole life. Studies show your workplace is often the best place to get back your health.
If possible, help your boss investigate the incident so that measures can be taken to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
