Join our panel of seasoned practitioners, including worker and employer perspectives, as they unpack a recent decision from the Workplace Safety and Appeals Tribunal (“WSIAT”) (Decision No. 1741/21, 2023 CanLII 81535 (ON WSIAT)) interpreting section 13 of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board’s (“WSIB”) policy for traumatic mental stress. Gather crucial insights into the circumstances in which an incident or event experienced by a worker might be considered “objectively traumatic”, thus entitling them to benefits for traumatic mental stress.
