2. Management Consulting Services Including On-site Assistance
Our firm can provide onsite attendance on a scheduled or "as needed" basis. We are available to participate in your Early and Safe Return to Work meetings and can liaise with your firm's medical/first-aid staff throughout the Early and Safe Return to Work process.
3. Accident Investigation Reporting
Our firm can assist your firm in developing a detailed Accident Investigation Report, or amending what you have, to work with your unique business activities. This will help ensure complete accuracy when completing the W.S.I.B. Form 7.
4. Form 7 Reporting

6. Preparation and Presentation at W.S.I.B. and W.S.I.A.T. Appeal Hearings
We offer knowledgeable and professional representation at W.S.I.B. and W.S.I.A.T. Appeal Hearings. We can provide representation either written and/or oral. We are experienced with the W.S.I.B. and W.S.I.A.T. Appeal Hearing process. During these times when many are working from home, oral hearings are held via Video Conference.
7. W.S.I.B. Penalty and Assessment Appeals
Our firm is familiar with W.S.I.B. penalties and assessments which may be levied, from time to time, against the employers in Ontario. Once your firm has identified a penalty and/or assessment discrepancy, we can initiate an appeal to the W.S.I.B. Generally speaking, situations resulting in penalties could range from a failure to comply to reporting obligations, through to failure to comply with re-employment obligations.
8. NEW Premium Rate Adjustment Framework
Our team can help you understand how the new framework figures are impacted by your firm’s claim costs. Keeping the accident costs under control and the number of accepted claims at a minimum is essential to keeping your firm’s unique premium rate as low as possible.
9. Risk Exposure Analysis (N.E.E.R. program)
The N.E.E.R. program and other incentive programs (C.A.D -7 and M.A.P.P) ended after September 30, 2020 and were replaced by the NEW Premium Rate Adjustment Framework.
There may still be time to benefit from applications for cost relief on your firm’s N.E.E.R. account, and obtain a refund. Our team can analyze past statements and locate potential savings on high cost claims, and work with you to seek cost relief and any resulting credit.
10. Education through Seminars and Presentations
We can meet with your firm's personnel with the purpose of education surrounding specific areas of concern, for example, reporting procedures and obligations.
