Saskatchewan Opposition presents bill to cover PTSD in emergency workers

The bill presented by health critic Danielle Chartier would bring about presumptive occupational coverage for workers affected by post-traumatic stress disorder because of an incident on the job.

The bill would also affected members of the military, police and social workers.

Chartier said right now there are a lot of hoops to jump through to prove that traumatic events at work were what caused the PTSD, so this bill would mean presumed coverage from the Workers Compensation Board.
