Adding further clarity to ‘erroneous’ Workplace Safety and Insurance Board data, city administrators has shared their latest safety statistics, which are better than most other municipalities listed
The City of Greater Sudbury’s lost-time injury frequency is below the municipal average, and has consistently ranked low for at least the past few years.
Inaccurate WSIB data made its way to council chambers in September 2022, when Ward 1 Coun. Mark Signoretti presented a successful motion for staff to present a report to city council to clarify what the city’s health and safety performance has actually been. “We are committed to transparently reporting data so that all Ontarians can see how safe any employer is and keep a sharp focus on health and safety in every workplace,” a WSIB representative wrote in emailed correspondence to Sudbury.com.
The municipal report did not include the 2021 lost-time injury frequency, but the city has calculated it to be 3.5. Greater Sudbury’s lost-time injury frequency from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, 2022, was 11.1. Excluding COVID-related incidents, the rate was 3.2, which falls within the municipality’s average. Two critical injuries were a result of the loss of consciousness determined to be a result of a medical condition.
