If you have been injured at work, it's your right to report it. Tell your employer the details about your injury. Your employer will notify WCB about your injury if the treatment required is anything beyond first aid or if you missed time from work. It is also important you submit your report of injury to WCB.
You can report your injury through our worker mobile app, online or by fax.
Option 1: Report in the myWCB mobile app for workers
The worker mobile app is the fastest way to report your injury, so we can start getting you the support you need as quickly as possible.
Option 2: Report online
If you don’t have a mobile device, electronic injury reporting is a fast and easy way to report your injury to WCB. The system will guide you through the reporting process and provide online help along the way.
