The City of Greater Sudbury’s lost-time injury rate in 2020 was 3.38, which was below the 5.56 average among 16 municipalities and their but still not low enough, according to a city manager
Despite a report to the contrary, the City of Greater Sudbury’s safety rating is actually lower than most municipalities.
To add greater context to the local numbers, the average 2020 lost-time incident rate among 16 municipalities was 5.56. That year, Greater Sudbury’s rate was 3.38. The inaccurate Workplace Safety and Insurance Board numbers were circulated to mayor and council by email from a concerned resident last week, and further attention was brought to the numbers through a motion by Ward 1 Coun. Mark Signoretti at the Sept. 13 city council meeting.
Fowke said there are a couple of issues with the information provided that is leading to the WSIB data tool spitting out wrong information. When it comes to the city’s overall lost-time injury rate of 3.4, Fowke said additional context is required so people don’t conflate city reporting standards with those of the mining industry.
