Latest News About Workplace Safety & Insurance Board

Here are the latest publicly available updates I found about the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) as of April 2026:

• WSIB has announced substantial surplus distributions to safe Ontario businesses, with a recent $2 billion rebate in fall 2025, marking the second major surplus return in 2025 and the third in the board’s history. This indicates ongoing financial health and momentum in returning funds to employers meeting safety benchmarks. [Source: WSIB News Releases, 2025]

• There were notable labour disruption events in 2025: a strike involving the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU) led to mediated talks and a tentative agreement in July 2025, followed by continuing service discussions during the disruption. WSIB stated it would continue to provide core services to injured workers and employers during the strike. This reflects how WSIB maintains operations even amid labor actions.
