Selected WSIB Appeals Resolution Officer
Decisions Are Now Available Online
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)
has recently made some of its Appeals Resolution Officer (ARO) decisions
available on the internet. Previously, ARO decisions were not made
available to the public.
The decisions are available to anyone free of
charge. They are published on the Canadian
Legal Information Institute (CanLII) website, a free online
source for Canadian law.
The database of ARO decisions is available here.
WSIB has initially published 50 ARO decisions
and plans to make more available. Not all ARO decisions will be
published. Only decisions selected by WSIB for publication will
be included in the online database.
For privacy reasons, ARO decisions published online
have been edited to remove identifying information about the parties
or their representatives.
AROs decide internal appeals at WSIB. ARO decisions
are final decisions of WSIB and can be appealed to the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT).
A complete database
of WSIAT decisions is also available for free on CanLII.
