Manitoba Workplace Injury and Illness Statistics 2000-2014 2

Acknowledgements The Manitoba Workplace Injury Statistics Report for 2000-2014 is the thirteenth annual report of this type. This report is an integral component of Manitoba’s joint injury prevention strategy (SAFE Work). This report is developed from the WCB’s injury data for the years 2000-2014. The report is based on injuries about which the WCB was notified and that were accepted by the WCB, or fatalities. Note that acute hazard fatalities are counted in the year of death, while occupational disease fatalities are counted in the year of acceptance.

Methodology Note on 2009 Extension of WCB Coverage and Change in Average Weekly Earnings In 2007 and in 2009, the Government of Manitoba extended the scope of compulsory coverage under The Workers Compensation Act to include several new industries. As part of extension, injury data for companies in the newly compulsory industries--including those that had previously held voluntary WCB coverage (now called optional coverage) --are now recorded under their new optional industry sectors, primarily the agriculture and forestry, service and trade sectors. Since many employers who had voluntary coverage are now in mandatory industries, injuries associated with those previously optional employers are not recorded under the optional sector but instead are recorded in their new mandatory industry categories. The WCB relies on Statistics Canada data to calculate injury rates and estimates of the number of covered workers in Manitoba. Estimates of full-time equivalent workers are based on Statistics Canada average weekly earnings and WCB payroll information. Starting in 2012, the WCB adopted the average weekly earnings series based on the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) instead of NAICS 2007. The previous years' injury rates have not been restated.

Major Highlights of Manitoba Workplace Injury Data, 2000 to 2014 INJURIES AND INJURY RATE TRENDS The provincial time loss injury rate fell from a high of 5.6 time loss injuries per 100 workers in 2000 to 3.1 in 2014. This is a drop of 45

per cent over the period.

FATALITIES The number of occupational fatalities varies significantly from year to year. In 2014, there were 13 acute hazard fatalities and 13

occupational disease fatalities. MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES Musculoskeletal injuries, or MSIs, are injuries to or disorders of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, blood vessels or related

soft tissue including sprains, strains and inflammation. The total number of MSIs decreased substantially in 2009 and again in 2010 (the largest year over year decrease in ten years), increasing again through 2014 to 62.1 per cent of all time loss injuries.

8 Estimates of full-time equivalent workers are based on Statistics Canada average weekly earnings and WCB payroll information. Starting in 2012, the WCB adopted the average weekly earnings series based on the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) instead of NAICS 2007. The previous years' injury rates have not been restated. 9 In 2009, the agriculture sector moved from voluntary to compulsory WCB coverage and is now grouped with forestry. In 2009, many other rate codes moved from optional WCB coverage to compulsory in the trade or service sectors. 10

Extension of coverage in 2009 has impacted the trends in injuries and injury rates in the optional, service, trade and forestry and agriculture sectors, so care should be taken in

interpreting trends.

13 Estimates of full-time equivalent workers are based on Statistics Canada average weekly earnings and WCB payroll information. Starting in 2012, the WCB adopted the average weekly earnings series based on the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) instead of NAICS 2007. The previous years' injury rates have not been restated. 14 In 2009, the agriculture sector moved from voluntary to compulsory WCB coverage and is now grouped with forestry. In 2009, many other rate codes also moved from optional WCB coverage to compulsory in the trade or service sectors. 15

2.0 WORKPLACE FATALITIES

2.1 Acute-Hazard21 and Occupational Disease22 Fatalities

Figure 11 - Acute-Hazard and Occupational Disease Fatalities, 2000-2014

21

Note that acute hazard fatalities are counted in the year of death. An acute-hazard exposure death is a work-related fatality that occurs when a worker is injured or exposed to a significant amount of a hazardous agent. In such cases, the worker dies immediately or soon after the exposure. This category includes such deaths as falls from height, drowning and highway crashes. It excludes deaths due to infectious agents. Acute-hazard fatalities include fatalities accepted by the Manitoba WCB, and those identified as work-related by the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office, the RCMP, and the Workplace Safety and Health Division. 22

An occupational disease death is a work-related fatality that occurs when a worker develops a disease or illness as the result of a long-term exposure to a hazardous substance or contact with a disease-causing agent. In such cases, the worker normally dies after months or years have passed. This category also includes traumatic or single events that have precipitated a functional failure such as a myocardial infarction. The fatalities are organized by year of acceptance by the WCB. Only those occupational disease fatalities accepted by the WCB are included in this report. No other body tracks work-related disease related deaths in workplaces outside of the WCB system.

Note that in 2010 the age group distributions vary slightly from those reported in previous years. This is because a slightly different method is being used to calculate age than in previous years using a built in age calculation function in SPSS.
