Decision No: 2237/16 | Date of Decision: April 28, 2017 | PDF: 2017onwsiat1282

We were successful in convincing the Vice-Chair that the Worker’s workplace accident, subsequent low back surgery and ongoing low back pain contributed significantly to the Worker developing a psychological condition diagnosed as depression and anxiety. As well, the Vice-Chair found that the Worker’s job duties as an HVAC Operation Manager were not suitable employment for the Worker.
