This list includes some of the abbreviations you might hear
mentioned in the workers’ compensation system, and may see written in
WSIB case files. As the
substantive provisions of legislation pertaining to a particular case
depend on the date of injury or illness, this list includes terminology
associated with any of the four Acts that may continue to apply to a
workers’ compensation claim:
·
The
Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 (covering accidents
and illnesses that occurred on or after January 1, 1998)
·
the pre-1997 Workers’ Compensation Act (covering accidents and illnesses
that occurred between January 2, 1990 and December 31, 1997)
·
the pre-1989 Workers’ Compensation Act (covering accidents and illnesses
that occurred between April 1, 1985 and January 1, 1990, as well as
deaths during this same period regardless of the date of the accident)
and
·
the pre-1985 Workers’ Compensation Act (covering accidents and illnesses
that occurred prior to April 1, 1985).
