Canadian WCB states
WCB: Psychological Injuries
• Refers to a wide range of mental health
conditions. Examples: – depression – anxiety –
acute stress reaction – adjustment disorder –
PTSD
• It differs from a distressing emotional reaction to
an upsetting incident(s). • Rather, it involves
persistent and sustained disturbances in: •
thought • mood, • behaviors • interactions with
others, outside of the sufferer’s control.
P bar Y Safety Consultants
Canadian WCB states
• Some level of stress is a normal part of life. •
However, when a person’s ability to cope with the
stressors is overwhelmed, distress—a negative
form of mental stress—can develop and result in
diagnosable psychological or psychiatric injuries.
• WCB determines entitlement. • An injury is
compensable when it arises out of and occurs in
the course of employment. – The employment
must have contributed to the accident so that, if
it were not for the employment, the accident
would not have occurred at that time.

Canadian WCB states
• Traumatic onset psychological injury or stress is
compensable when: – it is an emotional reaction
in response to a single traumatic work-related
incident or – a cumulative series of traumatic
work-related incidents experienced by the
worker. Traumatic onset psychological injury or
stress is compensable when: – it is an emotional
