Chronic Mental Stress Claims Under WSIB
September 20, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
As of January 1st, 2018, employees with work-related chronic or traumatic mental stress may be eligible for benefits from the WSIB under its new chronic mental stress (CMS) policy. This expanded entitlement for mental stress under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act means all employers, specifically those with stressful workplaces, will need to take additional steps to reduce workplace stress — including harassment, bullying and workload issues — and minimize the existence of substantial workplace stressors to limit costly, complicated stress-related lost time claims.
Explore how the WSIB has been applying these new provisions; what exposures employers have to increased claims; how to develop criteria for chronic mental stress investigations; and preventative measurers you can take now.
