Did you know that WSIB coverage isn’t mandatory for every business in Ontario?
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Act lists which industries need to have coverage and which industries don’t. Businesses that do need to have WSIB coverage pay premiums in exchange for workplace insurance.
We use those premiums to pay the benefit and the administration costs of our collective liability insurance – despite being a government agency, we don’t receive any funding from taxes.
It’s free and easy to register with us. For anyone new to the WSIB, we’ve put together some resources in this section that will help you understand:
- how to register your business
- whether you need to register
- what information you need to register
- what to do if you don’t need WSIB coverage but want it
- registration details for construction businesses in Ontario
- answers to other questions you may have about registering with the WSIB
- your health and safety responsibilities
