Working with our partners in the safety community, we champion a strong culture of workplace safety in Manitoba through stewardship, strategic direction, promotion, standards and programming.2019 was a year spent strengthening the injury prevention infrastructure that we’ve built over the past five years since SAFE Work Manitoba was first established.This past year, we also finalized our new prevention strategic framework and made significant progress on a new strategy for the prevention system to guide our work over the next five years. Our new prevention strategic framework will focus our efforts on championing a SAFE Work culture throughout the province, continuing our work to expand access to important safety programs offered through our partners, enhancing standards to ensure consistency and quality in training and safety programming, and improving system coordination and accountability.Part of supporting our industry-based safety program (IBSP) partners in their important work this past year included the WCB reviewing the funding model for these programs. From this work, the WCB has established a level playing field by implementing a cap on the amount employers paid to access an IBSP in their industry, NOTE FROM THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERTIME LOSS INJURY RATEPER 100 FULL TIME WORKERS 28 | 2019 WCB ANNUAL REPORT3.020152.92.62.92.5*2016201720182019*Estimated, to be confirmed mid-2020with the WCB now sharing this cost. The new five per cent safety levy cap, ensures that employers in industries seeing improvements in their injury rates won’t pay higher percentages than those in other industries, while still ensuring IBSPs have the funding they need to operate and deliver quality industry-specific safety services to their members. Another achievement from this past year has been our continued progress with our SAFE Work Certified standard and Prevention Rebate program. These two programs recognize and reward employers that demonstrate workplace health and safety leadership, and have been shown to reduce the risk of workplace injury and illness. This past year, 145 employers achieved the SAFE Work Certified standard. This brings our total number of employers that have achieved the SAFE Work Certified standard to 1,256 and we estimate our total Prevention Rebate payments to be more than $11.7 million for 2018 and 2019. Together, these two programs make a strong business case for employers to prioritize injury prevention and take a proactive approach to health and safety in the workplace. I look forward to seeing more employers take the needed steps to build a SAFE Work culture in their workplaces through safety and health certification.I believe our goals outlined in our new strategic framework, as well as their related initiatives, will build on the progress we’ve made in our first five years to reduce workplace injuries and illness across many industries. I look forward to working with our partners to achieve our vision of a safer Manitoba that fosters prevention and return to work for all Manitobans.Jamie HallChief Operation OfficerSAFE Work ManitobaALL INJURY RATEPER 100 FULL TIME WORKERS 20192017201820162015SEVERE INJURY RATEPER 100 FULL TIME WORKERS0.520.530.510.470.46*201520162018201720192019 WCB ANNUAL REPORT | 29<a href="index_40.html">Next ></a></p></noscript></div> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#documentViewer').FlowPaperViewer( { config : { PDFFile : 'docs/9897-WCB-2019-Annual-Report_No-Sigs.pdf?reload=1622035974323', IMGFiles : 'docs/9897-WCB-2019-Annual-Report_No-Sigs.pdf_{page}.jpg?reload=1622035974323', HighResIMGFiles : '', JSONFile : 'docs/9897-WCB-2019-Annual-Report_No-Sigs.pdf_{page}.js?reload=1622035974323', ThumbIMGFiles : 'docs/9897-WCB-2019-Annual-Report_No-Sigs.pdf_{page}_thumb.jpg?reload=1622035974323', SWFFile : '', FontsToLoad : ["g_font_1","g_font_2","g_font_3","g_font_4","g_font_5","g_font_6","g_font_7","g_font_8","g_font_9","g_font_10","g_font_11","g_font_12","g_font_13","g_font_14","g_font_15","g_font_16","g_font_17","g_font_18","g_font_19","g_font_20","g_font_21","g_font_22","g_font_23","g_font_24","g_font_25","g_font_26","g_font_27","g_font_28","g_font_29","g_font_30","g_font_31","g_font_32"], Scale : 0.1, ZoomTransition : 'easeOut', ZoomTime : 0.4, ZoomInterval : 0.1, FitPageOnLoad : true, FitWidthOnLoad : false, AutoAdjustPrintSize : true, PrintPaperAsBitmap : false, AutoDetectLinks : true, ImprovedAccessibility : true, FullScreenAsMaxWindow : false, ProgressiveLoading : false, MinZoomSize : 0.1, MaxZoomSize : 10, SearchMatchAll : true, InitViewMode : 'Zine', RenderingOrder : 'html,html', StartAtPage : 20, EnableWebGL : true, PreviewMode : '', PublicationTitle : 'WCB%20Annual%20Report%202020', MixedMode : true, ViewModeToolsVisible : true, ZoomToolsVisible : true, NavToolsVisible : true, CursorToolsVisible : true, SearchToolsVisible : true, UIConfig : 'UI_Zine.xml?reload=1622035974323', BrandingLogo : '', BrandingUrl : '', WMode : 'transparent', key : '$54a2d4598181532271e', TrackingNumber : '', localeDirectory : 'locale/', localeChain : 'en_US' }} ); var url = window.location.href.toString(); if(location.length==0){ url = document.URL.toString(); } if(url.indexOf("file:")>=0){ jQuery('#documentViewer').html("<div style='position:relative;background-color:#ffffff;width:420px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;left:22%;top:20%;padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;border-style:solid;border-width:5px;'><img src='data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhEAAPAMQPAPS+GvXAIfrjnP/89vnZePrhlvS9F//+/PrfjfS/HfrgkPS+GP/9+YJiACAYAP////O3AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH5BAEAAA8ALAAAAAAQAA8AAAVQ4COOD0GQKElA0JmSg7EsxvCOCMsi9xPrkNpNwXI0WIoXA1A8QgCMVEFn1BVQS6rzGR1NtcCriJEAVnWJrgDI1gkehwD7rAsc1u28QJ5vB0IAOw%3D%3D'> <b>You are trying to use FlowPaper from a local directory.</b><br/><br/> Use the 'View in browser' button in the Desktop Publisher publish & preview dialog window to preview your publication or copy the contents of your publication directory to a web server and access this html file through a http:// url.</div>"); } </script> </body> </html>
