Yellowknife, NT (May 23, 2017) – On May 10, 2017, the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission filed nine charges in the Northwest Territories’ Territorial Court under the Northwest Territories’ Safety Act.
When injured, a worker depends on a number of individuals to communicate with each other throughout the claims process. As a health care provider, you play a critical role by recognizing medical problems, making accurate diagnoses, creating effective treatment plans for injured workers, and communicating with the WSCC.
Report if a worker:
- needed medical aid;
- cannot return to work the day that the injury occurred;
- is unable to return to their job after the day of the injury;
- loses consciousness; or
- were exposed to a dangerous substance; or
- is critically injured.
(If any ONE of these instances apply.)
