Key Findings

2Prepared by Business Information & Analysis, WorkSafeBC


Of the 6 Classification Units, 4 Classification Units saw an increase to their base rate and 2 saw a decrease orno change. In 2015, Base Rates in the Oil or Gas Drilling CU increased to $2.09, a 5.6% rise over the prioryear.

In 2013, there were 1,514 employers in this industry, a 5% increase over the past four years.

The Injury Rate for the selected CUs remains lower than the Injury Rate for all BC CUs combined.

The percentage of workers returning to work within 4 weeks increased in 2014 compared to 2013 and is lower

than all BC (2014: 34% for The selected CUs vs. 51% for all BC).

The average Short-Term Disability Duration (work days lost per claim) for the selected CUs is significantlyhigher than all BC.

Underground mine service and support workers, oil and gas drilling, servicing and related laborers, oil and gaswell drilling and related workers, and services operators contribute to nearly half the claims in the selected CUs.

Compared to 2013, the number of Prevention Orders issued to employers in Oil or Gas Drilling, Oil or Gas FieldServicing, Seismic Exploration, Diamond Drilling, Seismic Drilling, or Shot Hole Drilling, Oil or Gas Production,Oil or Gas Transmission (oil or gas pipeline) increased by 95% to 162 orders in 2014. As of March 31, 2015, 43Prevention Orders have been issued year-to-date.

Between 2010 and 2015 YTD, there were 9 work-related deaths.

Statistical Overview

* Note: The Claim Cost Paid and Work Days Lost relate to the claims from all years of injury and are not just the results of the

given year's claims.

** Note: Serious Injuries include time-loss claims that represent either a serious medical diagnosis, or a potentially-serious

medical diagnosis with a long recovery period of 50+ days paid (10+ weeks off work). Serious Injuries also include all work-

related death claims.

In 2013, there were 1,514 employers in this industry, a 5% increase over the past four years.

Return to Work (RTW): The number of times workers returned to work in the year who returned within the given period (e.g. within 4 weeks, within 26 weeks).

The percentage represents the RTW count divided by the total number returning or not returning to work. RTW is not displayed in a given year if there are fewer

than 20 total RTW outcomes.



26/26

Definitions% Serious Injury Claims: The percentage of Time-loss Claims that are considered to be a Serious Injury.

Serious Injury Claims: The number of time-loss claims that represent either a serious medical diagnosis, or a potentially-serious medical diagnosis with a longrecovery period of 50+ days paid (10+ weeks off work). Includes all work-related death claims.

Serious Injury Rate: The number of Serious Injury Claims per 100 people working all year whether on a part-time or full-time basis.

Source of Injury: The object, substance, exposure, or bodily motion that directly produced, transmitted, or inflicted the injury or illness previously identified.

injury.

Warning Letters Sent: The number of warning letters issued to an employer due to workers being exposed to a serious hazard or previous non-compliance.

Work Days Lost: The total number of short-term disability (STD) work days paid in the year regardless of the year of injury. (Days arising from rehabilitationpayments are excluded.)

Work-Related Deaths: The number of claims accepted for survivor benefits in the period, regardless of whether a payment is made. The number of Work-

Related Deaths may not match figures reported in the Annual Report as they have been allocated to industries (CUs) on the basis of the majority of costs and
