As an employer do I have to report all injuries?

For all work-related injuries that required medical treatment (even if the worker may not have missed time from work) you must:

  • Fill out and submit a Form 7 (Employer's Report of Injury or Occupational Disease) to WorkSafeBC Compensation Services within three days. If a first aid attendant assisted the worker, you should also complete a First Aid Record and submit a copy to WorkSafeBC.
  • Conduct an incident investigation to determine the cause of the incident, and provide copies of the investigation report to the worker health and safety representative (if applicable) and WorkSafeBC.

Note: For serious accidents, incidents, and injuries, you must notify WorkSafeBC immediately as defined by WCA, Division 10, Section 172, Immediate notice of certain accidents.
