| Summary |
This report provides information on the status of the City’s health and safety system, specifically on activities, priorities and performance during and up to the end of the second quarter of 2013.
There was a 19.8% decrease in the number of lost time injuries (LTIs), a 43.1% decrease in the number of recurrences and a 4.0% decrease in the number of medical aid only injuries during the first two quarters of 2013 relative to 2012.

This decrease was achieved despite the significant increase in the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board's Schedule II Employer administration rate that increased from 27.6% in 2012 to 35.8% for 2013. |
