Ever wonder about Workmen's Compensation?
The
Just over 58 years ago, in May
of 1914, Ontario lawmakers
passed legislation which became
4� effective on January lst, 1915,
embodying an approach based
on' an entirely new set of prin-
ciples in providing ' the
province's workers with protec-
tion against ' often disastrous
results" of being injured in the
♦ course of their work. 4
,Prior to that time, the victim
of a job injury was in large
measure dependent on the
benevolence of his employer.
Whether the company would
cover the cost of medical treat -
en an • con lnue some
income during convalescence,
and for .how .' long, was a
unilateral, management
decision.
The injured worker could, of
course, in instances where
management declined any° form
of assistance, resort , to the
courts. Such , actions, however,
involved fixing liability for the
accident on the company. Doing
so was often a drawn out, costly
process for both workman and
employer - with the latter ob-
viously in a much better position
to use the court appeal system
to advantage. -om,�„���, .
ased on recommendations
following • a three-year study of
compensation sy tem
throughout the world by former'
rf provincial Chief Justice, Sir
William Meredith, the Ontario
Workmen's Compensation Act
of 1914 was advanced "model"
legislation for its time. '
The prime areas of departure
in the then new Ontario system
may appear remarkably unspec-
tacular when compared to the
accepted standards of today:
But 'in the light of the
haphazard non -system of
benevolence and 'legal recourse
which it replaced, Ontario's
Workmen's Compensation Act
w was. a' giant step forward.
Among • the 1914 Act's in-
novative provisions: Payment of •
compensation was guaranteed
through establishment of a
special fund raised by levies on
the province's einplayers. It was
„y no longer a question of whether
management felt inclined to
compensate an injured worker
or 'could afford to do so.- The •
cost of providing compensation
was td be shared by all em
ployers and incorporated . as a
Y cost of being in business in On-
tario. •
Anyone suffering a work in-
jury was entitled to cbmpen-
sation as a matter of right;
regardless -- of ,negligence on
anyone's part. A sharp 'depar-
ture from not only having to
prove negligence on the part of
the employer, but also .to get

Free films
at ROM
A definition of our culture in
the world as it is today, is the
main theme of the Free Sunday
Film series to be presented at
the Royal Ontario Museum.
The program, conceived for
an audience of adults and high
school students, stresses man's
and nature's technology,
demonstrating how the arts and
sciences assist us- in coming to •
terms with the technological
explosion. Ancient and modern
methods of ' manufacture, man
versus machine, theories of
continental drift, of Stonehenge
and of ancient civilizations,
various cultures and life styles
all illustrate hdw man, and
animal, learn to 'tope with their
environment. • •
The films will be shown at the
Royal Ontario Museum
Theatre, Sundays at 2:30 p.m.
from October 15 to March 18.

ployers had formerly argued
that employees in certain
categories should have been
aware ofand accepted the
possibility of injury because of
the nature of their work.
There' was _ to be no further
recourse to the courts for
damages. With compensation
guaranteed, as a matter of right,
the need for costly, to both em-
ployee and employer, and often
bitter, long drawn out litigation
was eliminated.
The new 'legislation
stiplulated that.. compensation
' `be""'paid'' as long as required with
no ime imi • uring w is
benefits would be available..
Even the most advanced
systems of . 1914 stipulated
. maximum- periods . of time
during which assistance would
be provided, regardless of the in-
jured worker's condition.
In the more than half a cen-
tury since, Sir William, Meredith
established major objectives and
set out the basic framework un-
der which they might be
achieved, Workmen's Compen-
sation in Ontario has main-
tained leadership in• this vital
field of social, legislation.,
,,,,gash benefits to injured work ;
men, for example, ` have in-
creased substantially; t`ie. On-
tario Workmen's Compensation
Board's medical treatment and
rehabilitation facilities have
long been recognized as among
the most advanced of their kind,
a system which is studied and
copied by jurisdictions around
the world; the area of coverage
has been greatly broadened, for
example with the Ontario
Board's early recognition that a
working injury included in-
dustrial disease brought on by
long term exposure to certain
working environments.
But the above, if you will, are
the mechanics of the system, the
tools with which Ontario's
,Workmen's, • Compensation
Board achieves its goals. The
basic approach remains that
recommended by Sir William
and framed into law by the
province's legislators in 1914.
To administer the Workmen's
Compensation system, the 1914
Act established The Workmen's
compensation Board, Ontario,
an autonomous body charged
with carrying out specifics of the
Act and its regulations in an in-
--dependent, objective -manner.
T regula•tio
-establish the benefits - financial,
medical and rehabilitation -. to
which' an injured .workman is
entitled. It • is the Board's '
responsibility to make certain
an injured workman 'gets his full
entitlement.
"Gets his full entitlement!"
When you say it quickly . it
sounds a' bit cold and detached.
One gets the impression of
someone making a few
mathematical calculations,
calling , for a series of cheques
and then closing out a file. This
may be close to reality in the
case of minor injuries, but it, is
by no means typical. In one of
the Board's most important
responsibilities t 'vocational
rehabilitation of the disabled -
the system. established over the
years has built up an effective
• :and valuable rapport with in-
jured -workmen, makings their
ns eh. bilitation nt -eh
reached through shared ex-
perience from which Board
representatives often gain
knowledge which is invaluable
in the handling of other cases.
In broad outline this is what
Workmen's Compensation in
Ontario is all about.
