What happens if you’re injured on the job?

If proper health & safety regulations are followed, this shouldn’t be an issue. However, things do happen. First thing is first; seek necessary medical attention if needed. Then, according to the Ontario Ministry of Labour, there are steps that must be taken within a certain time period. This includes notifying your Toronto painter’s union representative, your health & safety representative and the Ministry of Labour Health & Safety Contact Centre. In some cases, a phone call will work. In most circumstances, you’ll need to submit written notification, being careful to include all details of the event.
