According to WSIB, the average direct cost of a lost time injury is over $13,000, and that does not include indirect costs! That means does not include the cost of hiring a replacement worker, or training that worker. It does not include your time cost and the hassle of dealing with WSIB and MOL.
With the recent amendments to the Federal Criminal Code in Bill C-45, supervisors and managers may face criminal charges if a worker or a member of the public is seriously injured at the workplace. These would be for criminal negligence, and carry large fines and/or a prison term.
