In this YouTube video posted 5 months ago, WorkplaceNL still "claims" the injured worker is required to submit a "Form 6: Report of Injury".

This is not supported in the Act and never has been.

I have VERY important questions:

CAN they read?  Cause I fail to see the competence in their ability to comprehend the difference in application and reporting the injury.

I would not be able to work with such incompetent individuals who continue to misinform injured workers and refuse to acknowledge the law!  

At this point, how can I not shame them?

I brought this to their attention over a year ago!  And even 5 months ago they release a YouTube video that STILL keeps them in all their illegal methods used to manipulate injured workers!

The commission used form 6 with Dustin as a means to "investigate" an incident that NEVER happened!  They had ZERO medical documentation to support the form 6 even!  They called his current employer WITHOUT medical proof to support ANY INJURY HAPPENED!  Then questioned his employer about an incident!  

Even listening to this video is confusing.

The act specifically says the injured worker submits the application for compensation.

Compensation is for both loss of earnings and medical aid costs.

The injured Worker submits the medical documents needed to support the application.

IF the injury happens at the place of work, with witnesses, then why would ANY injury go through an adjudication process?

IF a recurrence happens, an injured worker submits the medical documents.  The commission has to address this via the case worker as new information under Section 74.  NOT an adjudicator!  The injury has already been accepted for compensation!

The case worker would submit the new medical information to the medical consultant and then once the medical consultant confirms it is related to the original injury, the case worker would look at the time frame since the last compensable loss of earnings related to the injury and use that time frame to determine recurrence or reinstatement.

It is MEDICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for an ORIGINAL INJURY TO TURN INTO A NEW INJURY!  

"Claiming" this, as the commission does in policy EN-03, is ridiculous!  If it is the same body part and same symptoms and it happens more than a year after the original injury, then it is a recurrence!  

A new injury would automatically be reported by the employer as per the Act demands!  Without the employer reporting an incident, the commission has NO legal grounds to suspect the same symptoms and same body part would be a "new injury"!  

I find it difficult to wrap my head around the mind of the person or committee who came up with all this nonsense!  Were they qualified and competent?  Or were they just hired because they needed a job and were a friend of a friend?

Please continue to support my petition!  

This information NEEDS to get out there!  Enough is enough! 

If this reading comprehension continues, I believe we need to advocate for the government to implement a reading comprehension program for adults in Newfoundland and Labrador!  Specifically focused on the employees at WorkplaceNL as their first class who needs this program as fast as yesterday!

How badly has our education system failed these adults?  Even the lawyers!  Sad state of affairs!

Thank you for your support!

God bless you all!
