The Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal

The mandate of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (the “WSIAT” or “Tribunal”) is to hear and decide appeals from final decisions of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (the “WSIB” or “Board”) and such other matters as are assigned under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997. As an Adjudicative Agency within the Ontario administrative justice system, the Tribunal seeks to provide quality adjudication in workplace safety and insurance appeals in accordance with the principles of natural justice on a fair and timely basis. Its legislative interpretations should provide workers, employers, the Board, government and the public with a well-reasoned commentary on legislation in the workplace safety and insurance system.
