Document Summary

Workers" compensation will ensure that the injured worker receives (1) first aid treatment, either on the job or at the nearest local treatment facility, (2) benefits while at home recuperating, (3) proper treatment for any injuries. If necessary, rehabilitation will be provided to help the worker return to his or her former job or some modified version of it, if circumstances dictate. In terms of its authority and power, the ontario act is representative of the legislation that exists in all jurisdictions. Under collective liability, the various industries are classified according to their size and end product, and each employer is assessed a rate that is a percentage of its payroll. As a result, each is relieved of individual liability. The goal of safety associations is to provide training in the area of incident prevention and health and safety. [sief] in some jurisdictions: liberal compensation, rehabilitation maintenance income.
