to a workplace injury for which an insurer is, or may be, liable
to pay compensation; and

assessment of the injured worker’s treatment and care needs for
the workplace injury under the LTCS Act, section 23
(Assessment of participant’s treatment and care needs).
(2) The insurer must give the employer and injured worker a statement
to the effect that the worker’s entitlement to weekly compensation
may stop if the worker unreasonably fails to comply with the
requirements of the assessment under the LTCS Act, section 23.
Note 1 The injured worker also has an obligation to comply with any reasonable
request the LTCS commissioner makes in relation to an assessment of the
injured worker’s treatment and care needs, including a request that the
injured worker undergo an examination by a health practitioner (see
LTCS Act, s 26).
Note 2 The LTCS commission may exchange information about a LTCS
participant’s treatment and care needs with the participant’s employer in
certain circumstances (see LTCS Act, s 94).
