Footnotes
- footnote[1] Back to paragraph Canadian Workers’ Compensation System – Year at a Glance | AWCBC / ACATC.
- footnote[2] Back to paragraph The 2026 target represents a 10% reduction from the 2020 baseline value. By six years post-COVID-19 pandemic (and end of Prevention Works strategy), COVID-19 LTI claims are expected to plateau and/or wane. This value is also similar to the 2019 trend value, signaling a potential regression to a more stable injury claim rate for the province. Once we have a better understanding of how COVID LTI claims change and how the non-COVID injury rate shifts in the next few years, we can develop a new baseline and target to more accurately reflect our expected progress.
- footnote[3] Back to paragraph Any level of injury or death is unacceptable. Through our educational, prevention and enforcement activity, we endeavor to reduce the likelihood of all workplace fatalities. This is a measure of the context in which the ministry and the OHS system function rather than a measure of the performance or impact of any particular initiative.
- footnote[4] Back to paragraph The 2026 target represents a 10% reduction from the 2020 baseline value. By six years post-pandemic, we expect that labour market shifts driven by COVID-19 will become less pronounced as workers become more familiar with their new jobs and/or return to work in reopened sectors.
