OBA Workers' Compensation PROGRAM | Original Program Date: April 14, 2020

Many workers are at risk of contracting (or, in some instances, have already contracted) COVID-19 at their workplace. How do we determine whether a COVID-19 case arises from an occupational exposure? How can employers protect against the risk of COVID-19? This topical program will discuss the following key issues:

• The Workplace Safety Insurance Board’s (WSIB) Adjudicative Approach to COVID-19 claims
• Practical tips for minimizing workplace exposure
• Strategies for responding to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases in the workforce
• Reporting requirements
• The WSIB financial relief package for employers

Join this expert faculty to understand how workplace coverage is being affected during this uncertain time.
