A Wealth of Business Expertise Written in 2002 by business for executives and managers, the Business Results Through Health and Safety Guidebook is the product of a successful partnership between Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) – Ontario Division and the WSIB, with participation from member CME companies, health & safety associations and other leaders in health and safety. The material draws on extensive experience of Ontario companies already benefiting from a stronger commitment to workplace health and safety. Injuries cost more than you think. In 2002, the average lost-time injury in Ontario cost $59,000. In 2006, the cost is approximately $98,000. Direct costs to the WSIB account for about 20% of that figure. Current WSIB costs (average $19,560 per LTI) can be found in the 2006 Premium Rates Manual and Section 7, Supporting Documentation for Schedule 1. Indirect costs to the company make up the rest of the total costs, including: Property damage Lost production Manager and supervisor time Compliance costs associated with Ministry of Labour orders Lowered employee productivity while on light duty. A business operating on a 6 per cent profit margin in 2002, would have needed nearly a million in sales to make up for the $59,000 lost that year from a single injury. Today, that same business would need over one and a half million in sales to recover the costs of a single injury. Your business depends on your skilled and trained workers.
