Question: Scenario 38: According to the municipal WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) policy, 'Any injury, no matter how minor, sustained while on duty or during approved training exercises, must be reported to a supervisor immediately and documented via the prescribed incident report form within 24 hours.' A firefighter twists their ankle slightly during a training exercise but believes it will heal quickly without medical attention. What is the required action?

Answer options:

• Wait to see if the injury worsens before reporting it. ✅ Report the injury to their supervisor immediately.
• Only report it if they decide to seek medical treatment.
• Document it themselves without informing a supervisor.

Correct answer: Report the injury to their supervisor immediately.

Explanation: The policy clearly states 'Any injury, no matter how minor... must be reported to a supervisor immediately.' Even a slight twist falls under 'minor' and requires immediate reporting. The correct answer is "Report the injury to their supervisor immediately.". This capacity-fill scenario 38 reinforces the same competency for the firefighter-reading bank and follows the certified explanation standard.
