WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION BOARD "Arising out of and in the cause of employment' & "A vital consideration in deciding eleigibility for ben- efits under Ontario's Work- men's Compensation system is establishing that injury is the result of an incident "arising out of and in the course of employment." On the surface a relatively straight-forward provision, its correct interpretation is fundamental to fair applica- tion of Workmen's Compen- sation. Fair application in this instance requires not only that workmen be adequately protected but also that employers, who finance the "system through their contri- butions, are not saddled with costs for conditions which are not the result of employ- ment. In general, coverage ex- tends to anything connected with performance of the task for which the worker was hired or to which he has been assigned, including an act- ivity which may not have been specifically designated but which might reasonably be undertaken in connection with his duties. If the worker acts rea- sonably and in good faith attempting to do what he believes to be in the best interest of his employer, the fact he may to some degree exceed his instructions or go outside the strict limits of ordinary duty does not necessarily deprive him of Workmen's Compensation coverage. Broad as the above in- terpretation may appear, it is not an unlimited blanket extending Workmen's Com- pensation protection to every conceivable eventuality. A worker whose injury is caused solely by his own serious and wilful miscon- duct is not entitled to compensation unless the in- jury results in death or - serious disablement. Likewise, injuries suffered while engaged in horseplay or as a result of a fight are not considered to arise out of employment. However, there have been rulings under which workers injured as a result of horseplay in which they did not partici- pate, or fights in which they either did not retaliate or were in fact innocent vic- tims, have received Workmen's Compensation benefits. Where there is any ques- tion, the injury-causing inci- dent is one arising out of and in the course of employment, a decision on eligibility is not infrequently an exremely delicate matter which can be resolved justly only after careful examination of re- ports covering every aspect of a particular case. In such instances it is very important the incident be reported in detail, and also as soon after the occurrrence as possible so that an enquiry may be carried out while events are fresh in the minds of witnesses and physical evidence may be examined first hand. The general coverage of activities described above extends to the entire time at be Li spends at his place of irk or jobsite, including intervals of leisure such as regular breaks and lunch periods., Workmen's Com- pehsation coverage is con- sidered to begin when the worker steps onto employers' property or job- site and to cease when he departs. Here again the interpretation, for ~~ Work- men's Compensation pur- poses, is a broad one covering such eventualities as an injury which occurs during avisit to pick up wages or other such occas- ions not directly connected with regular work routine. Covergge does not extend to the journey to and from work unless transportation is furnished in a conveyance under the control and super- vision of the employer, or owned or chartered by him. The latter does not include the vehicle of a worker who is receiving mileage allow- ance from his employer merely for the purposes of transportation to and from work. the Use of certified seed S20 STAR = Wednesday, feb. 26,1973 - 27 means quality feed Top. quality legumes and grasses are important to many farm feeding pro- "grams. However, to reap the benefits, it is important that you buy top quality seed. Choose "Certified" seed for the best results, says W.D. Taylor, Soils and Crops Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Seed represents a small capitalinvestmentperacrein crop production. Using certi- fied seed ensures that your forages will yield top quality forage. Check the tag when you buy -- the certified seed tag means the seed has been grown and processed accord- ing to the requirements of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association and the Canada Department of Agriculture. Choose varieties that canbe matched to your growing conditions, feed require- Check The Label On Your Paper ments, and harvesting tech- niques. Your lotal seed dealer will be able to advise you on varieties adapted to your area. Order your seed early for spring seeding. Forage seeds are expected to be in short supply and more expensive this year due to the lower harvest yields in 1972. If you, . want a particular ariety, look into the seed supply as soon as possible. Supplies of some species may be exhaus- ted quickly. Torealize the full benefit of Certified seed, overall plann- ing is important. A good forage program does not just happen. Begin planning now to be ready for March, the "Good Seed Month." H.
