-A complete account of the review process goes beyond the scope of this chapter. A good starting point in preparing a review of the Board’s decision is to go to http://www.worksafebc.com and look for the “Review and Appeal” section, under the “Claims” menu. There is a Policy and  Procedures Manual that describes the process in detail, as well as provides the necessary forms and applications. Limitations as to what kinds  of decisions can be appealed, and what persons can appeal them, are clearly stated within this section.
