QUESTION BOX, - (The following is part of a series of articles which seeks to provide answers to questions most frequently raised con- cerning Ontario's Workmen's'Compensation systeml. More- detailed informration miay be obtained by contacting the Public Affairs Division, WCBO, 2 Bloor Street East, Toron- to, Ontario). Q. Can a workmiari daimn for Ioss or dam age of personal property resulting froiii an industrial accident? A. Broadly spcaking, no, thc Act provides compensation for phiysical injuries only, su that a tori jacket or other article of clothing, or a damaged piece of working equipment personally owned by the employee wou.ld flot be covered under Workmen's Compensation. How- ever, such items as glasses, dentures or artificial pros- thetic appendages are given special consideraion and any damnage to theru, resulting from a compensable accident would be covered. The damage itemn must, of course, be being worn or in place at the 'time of the accident. Q. Ilf tw() ciuployces sLstain identical injuries, will their compensation cash benefits, and pensions if such-are eventually necessary because of the nature of the injury, be the sanie'? the accident arc a factor in deterinining both the amount of cash benefits to which hc is entitled and the pension which would bc awarded in the event there was per- mianent disability as a result of the injury. In the case of cash henefits, for ekýample, an injured employee, during the period in wliich he is unable to work, is entitled to 7 5 per cen t of gross average earnings up td $ 15,000 a year, with maxim 'um weekly paymen4- of $216.35. If average eamnings are between $90 and $120 a week,.$90 a week in benefits is payable; if average earnings are less than $90 a week, the full amount of average earnings is payable in cash benefits. In the saine way, the axnount of pension which would be awarded in the event of a permanent disability will be based, in part, on the disabled worker's gross average earnings at the time of injury. So that while two workers may suffer precisely the saine injury, be off work for the saine period of time, and eventually become disabled to precisely the saine extent, they would flot receive the saine amnount ini cash benefits or pension unless they had the saine gross average earnings at the turne of their injury.
