On the day of the accident

Provide any first aid treatment required at the scene of the accident.

• Provide for and pay the cost of immediate transportation from the injury site to an appropriate medical treatment facility (if required).
• Pay the injured worker’s full regular wages for the day the injury occurred. If disablement goes beyond the accident day, compensation payments start the first regular working day afterward.
• If an ambulance is required, you are required to pay ambulance fees.

Note:
Cheques are issued every two weeks. If you continue to pay the worker full wages during the period of disablement, the compensation payable to your worker will be paid to you. Remember to advise the adjudicator or case manager that you are paying your worker directly to avoid duplication of wage loss payments.
