Excerpt from the WCB Annual Report, 1976:


Educational Advertising

An educational advertising campaign sponsored by the Board in 1976, from July until November, to encourage workers to report industrial accidents immediately to their employers.

The theme, "The sooner we hear, the sooner we can help," was stressed in a series of 60-second spot announcements carried on all Ontario radio stations, to reach workers in their cars and homes. These announcements were broadcast in English, French, Italian and Portuguese.

Follow-up surveys have indicated an improvement in accident reporting, as well as in the reporting of minor injuries for First Aid.
