Workers' Compensation: A Manual for Workers' Advocates
IAVGO, in conjunction with Community Legal Education Ontario, is the publisher of this manual. Caseworkers from the legal clinic system, the private bar, and unions contributed their expertise to this “hands on” practice manual.
The Manual can be ordered and is available through CLEO online at www.cleo.on.ca.
IAVGO Photo Project - Injured Workers: Portraits of Life and Loss
This is a travelling photo exhibit comprised of 26 black and white portraits of injured workers and survivors from all regions of the province. Each person’s story is unique and shows a different way a workplace accident or disease has affected their life.

Fair Practices Commission at the WSIB
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) has created an organization called the Fair Practices Commission. The role of this Commission is to offer all the parties involved in a claim (injured workers, employers and service providers), a place which they can complain about the treatment they receive from the Board.
The Commission is independent from the Board and it will treat every complaint in a neutral and confidential way. It will have the power to investigate and to make recommendations in order to change or improve services at the Board. It will also publish reports on the Board’s activities.
The Commission started receiving complaints as of April 5, 2004. For more information visit the Commission’s web site at: www.fairpractices.on.ca.
You can call 416-603-3010 or toll free 1-866-258-4383.
