When Will the OWA Represent on Appeals?
The OWA represents on appeals at the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) and at the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT). WSIAT is
the final level of appeal. The OWA may represent you in your appeal,
depending on the nature of your workplace insurance problem. Whether
the OWA represents you or not, we will assist you in identifying
time limits for action in your case, as well as filing a letter
with WSIB or WSIAT in an effort to preserve your appeal rights.
For information on time limits applicable to
the filing of claims, see OWA Fact Sheet 3 called Filing
A Claim.
For information on time limits applicable to
appeals, see the OWA Workers' Information Kit: Appealing
WSIB Decisions.
