Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) shared an overview of the WCB’s operating and financial results at its annual general meeting (AGM), held virtually in Regina. The WCB’s executive team also provided attendees with 2021 workplace injuries and fatalities statistics and provided a plan that will transform the way customers are served at the WCB.</p> <p>In 2021, the WCB announced that it would begin a multi-year transformation of how the organization serves the workers and employers in the province. The WCB recognizes its customers’ needs are changing and because of that, through the WCB’s Business Transformation Program, the organization will work to adapt its business processes to meet the current and future expectations of all customers.</p> <p>The WCB remained fully funded at 107.6 per cent in 2021. Under <a href="http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/W17-11.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013</em></a>, the WCB is legislated to maintain an injury fund to cover all current and future injured worker claims. To ensure its funded position, the WCB established a funding range based on advice from external actuaries that targets a funded position between 105 per cent to 120 per cent.</p> <p>The WCB continued to provide additional COVID-19 support to workers and employers through 2021. This included providing more than $5.6 million in 2020 and 2021 in cost relief for COVID-19 claims. This cost relief has been extended to June 2022. The WCB also held employer premium rates at $1.17 when the required rate was $1.23, providing more than $13 million in financial relief to employers.</p> <p>In 2021, 90 per cent of Saskatchewan workplaces reported zero injuries or fatalities for the second year in a row. Last year, 31 workplace fatalities were reported, down from 34 in 2020. The WCB, along with its WorkSafe partners at the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety, continued to implement initiatives outlined in its Fatalities and Serious Injuries Strategy, launched in December 2019.</p> <p>The workplace Total injury rate in 2021 increased to 4.56 injuries per 100 workers, representing a two per cent increase from the 2020 Total injury rate of 4.46 per 100 workers. The 2021 Time Loss injury rate increased to 2.03 injuries per 100 workers, up 14 per cent from the 2020 rate of 1.78 injuries per 100 workers. Without COVID-19 claims, the Time Loss injury rate would have been 1.78 per 100 workers in 2021 (compared to 2.03 per 100 workers with COVID-19 claims) and 1.70 per 100 workers in 2020 (compared to 1.78 per 100 workers with COVID-19 claims). In 2021, the WCB accepted 1,035 compensation claims related to COVID-19, compared to 347 in 2020.</p> <p>In 2021, claim costs were $336.2 million in 2021, up from $319.6 million in 2020. The WCB’s injury fund was at $549.4 million as of year-end 2021, compared to $479.6 million in 2020.  The WCB had premium revenues of $259 million in 2021 (up from $256 million in 2020) and investment income of $254 million in 2021 (up from $77 million in 2020). Investment income includes realized investment income of $113 million plus an increase in unrealized gains on investments of $141 million. The WCB covered 392,813 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers in 2021, compared to 402,306 in 2020.</p> <p>For more information on these results, the WCB’s 2021 annual report is available online at <a href="http://www.wcbsask.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">wcbsask.com</a>.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-contact field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Contact</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--contact paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="container three-column-grid-container"> <div class="full-width-grid-item"> <div class="contact_wrapper"> <div class="contact_heading"> <h2 class="h3">Media contact:</h2> </div> <div class="contact_name_title"> <p class="contact_name">Carolyn Van der Veen</p> <p>Director, Strategic Communications, WCB</p> </div> <div class="contact_details_container"> <p> <a class="email" href="mailto:cvanderveen@wcbsask.com">cvanderveen@wcbsask.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-categories field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden field__items"> <p class="category_label">Categorized under: </p> <p class="category_terms"> Annual general meeting </p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-social-links field--type-boolean field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Social links</div> <div class="field__item">1</div> </div> Fri, 13 May 2022 22:52:14 +0000 mowens@wcbsask.com 4324 at https://wcbsask.com Safety speaker and former Sask.

In 2001, Comiskey’s brother was electrocuted and killed while working as an electrical lineman because he was wearing the wrong gloves. Comiskey’s family also experienced a workplace tragedy when his father-in-law was hit on the head by a piece of rock while on his first day on the job at a mine in the Northwest Territories. Now a professional safety speaker, Comiskey uses his world of sports and family to spread the message of creating habits to keep all workers safe at work.</p> <p>“We need to use everything at our disposal to protect ourselves and the ones we love from life-altering or life-ending injuries. One of the biggest weapons that we all have in this journey is the ability to create our own habits,” says Comiskey. “We can either use the power of habits to help us create a safe work environment and a safe home life or we can choose to ignore the power of these behaviours. If we choose to ignore this power, we could be missing the opportunity for success in life.”</p> <p>Comiskey is one of the featured speakers at the second day of the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board’s (WCB’s) annual free event, Compensation Institute, held May 17-18. The final day of the 24th event focuses on the power of habit when it comes to safety in the workplace, cultivating safe habits and tools to enhance work-life harmony.</p> <p>Comiskey, who lived in Regina, played as an offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League for 13 seasons – including four years with the Saskatchewan Roughriders – before retiring in 2010 as a perennial all-star, but more importantly to him, as part of two Grey Cup championships with the Edmonton Eskimos.</p> <p>This afternoon’s featured presenters include:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://pheedloop.com/CI2022/site/speakers/?event=CI2022&section=138568&id=SPEGBLLNPRB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Amy Zuk</strong></a>, an Alberta-born safety facilitator and coach for the last 12 years, witnessed her father lose a finger, an uncle hitting an overhead powerline with a cultivator, the home fuel shed burning down and her mom screaming to find where her three children were.</li> <li><a href="https://pheedloop.com/CI2022/site/sessions/?event=CI2022&section=138569&id=SESNBVZJ2GVFDXU0Q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Jessica Grass</strong></a>, a therapist, educator and facilitator from MyWorkplaceHealth, will provide attendees with skills and strategies for cultivating increased harmony or integration between work and personal lives to enhance psychological well-being.</li> </ul> <p>Compensation Institute attendees will be able to learn more about the WCB, including employer accounts, prevention of serious injuries and the claims process.</p> <p>The event is being presented online for workers, employers, WCB partners, key stakeholders and members of the media throughout the province.</p> <p>“The theme of this year’s conference is to eliminate injuries and restore abilities, which is also the WCB’s vision,” says Kevin Mooney, the WCB’s vice-president of prevention and employer services. “Compensation Institute is an important avenue in support of our vision. This event presents just one opportunity where we can connect and engage with our customers and partners on workplace safety.
