Hurt at work? Start the claim process.

What to do when you're hurt at work:

Tell your supervisor.
Report your injury or illness as soon as practical (or before voluntarily leaving your workplace). Your employer is responsible for getting you any necessary first aid and for transporting you to a medical facility, if necessary. Your employer may ask you to complete a form with details on the injury/illness. This helps them file a report with WorkSafeNB and prevent other similar incidents from happening in the workplace.

Get the medical treatment you need.
Your doctor/nurse practitioner may recommend treatment for your injury and refer you to other health care practitioners. Be sure to ask about modified work duties and activities you can do to help your recovery. Always let your health care provider know that you were injured at work.

Report your injury or illness to us.
If you miss time from work or must see a health care provider for more than first aid because of the work-related injury, you may choose to apply for workers’ compensation benefits. If you are applying for benefits related to hearing loss, please complete the Application for Benefits - Occupational Hearing Loss.

Am I eligible for workers’ compensation benefits?

To be eligible for workers' compensation payments, you must work for an employer insured under WorkSafeNB and experience a work-related injury or illness. As part of the claims process, a WorkSafeNB employee will review several pieces of information before making a decision regarding your eligibility. If you are unsure, we encourage you to submit an Application for Workers’ Compensation Benefits.
