What do do in case of a work accident?
1. Notify your employer or supervisor:
Make sure to fill out a CNESST accident report and keep a copy for your records.
2. See a doctor as soon as possible.
You must see a doctor, even if it is a minor injury. In case of a work accident, tell the doctor that your pain is due to your work. Ask the doctor for a CNESST medical certificate. You will need it to make a claim to the CNESST. Give a copy of the CNESST medical certificate to your employer, send a copy to the CNESST & keep a copy for yourself. Make sure to always bring all documents related to your work accident to your follow-up medical appointment.
3. Complete the Worker’s Claim form
If you are absent from work for more than 14 days, if you have expenses to be reimbursed (parking, orthotics, ..) or if you need treatment such as physiotherapy, complete the Worker’s Claim form. You can download your form here https://amsclinic.ca/en/account-center/
4. Follow the treatments prescribed by the doctor
You must make sure that you have all the necessary medical examinations and follow the treatments prescribed by your doctor such as physiotherapy.
