Statistics

Current health and safety statistics
The Ministry of Labour and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board have developed a new, single, consistent method of reporting injury rates and fatalities across Ontario. This will ensure a greater overall focus on the problem of work-related injuries, and better illustrate this issue to workplace parties and the public.

The statistics will be updated monthly to ensure they are as up-to-date and accurate as possible. Any updates will reflect changes that occur as injury and fatality claims that are pending or being appealed are decided.

Young Worker Statistics
Young workers often lack the experience to recognize and avoid workplace hazards. Promoting awareness of workplace safety and understanding of workplace rights and responsibilities among young workers is the first step towards preventing injuries, illnesses and fatalities on the job. The WSIB’s Social Awareness campaigns in 2004 marked the launch of the first initiative geared towards parents of young workers. Through partnerships with organizations throughout the province including the Ministry of Labour, and through its Prevention and Operations Divisions, the WSIB continues to implement effective solutions that will lead to the elimination of all workplace injuries and illnesses.
