Injury & Exposure Reporting Process for Workers:

If you suffer a workplace injury or exposure to a hazardous substance that requires medical aid, you must report the incident to your employer and to the WSCC.

To report to the WSCC, use the Worker’s Report of Injury form. For a workplace exposure to a potentially hazardous substance, fill in the form to the best of your ability, focusing on sections A, B, and C.

If you need help filling out the Worker's Report of Injury form, please call WSCC at:

NWT Tele-claim: 1-800-661-0792
Nunavut Tele-claim: 1-877-404-4407

The WSCC collects personal information to administer programs and services related to your claim. For more information please read our Privacy Statement for Workers.
