Key Findings
Of the 6 Classification Units, 4 Classification Units saw an increase to their base rate and 2 saw a decrease or
no change. In 2015, Base Rates in the Oil or Gas Drilling CU increased to $2.09, a 5.6% rise over the prior
year.
In 2013, there were 1,514 employers in this industry, a 5% increase over the past four years.
The Injury Rate for the selected CUs remains lower than the Injury Rate for all BC CUs combined.
The percentage of workers returning to work within 4 weeks increased in 2014 compared to 2013 and is lower
than all BC (2014: 34% for The selected CUs vs. 51% for all BC).
The average Short-Term Disability Duration (work days lost per claim) for the selected CUs is significantly
higher than all BC.

* Note: The Claim Cost Paid and Work Days Lost relate to the claims from all years of injury and are not just the results of the
given year's claims.
** Note: Serious Injuries include time-loss claims that represent either a serious medical diagnosis, or a potentially-serious
medical diagnosis with a long recovery period of 50+ days paid (10+ weeks off work). Serious Injuries also include all workrelated death claims.
Note: 2014 Person Years and Injury Rate is based on Aug 31st, remaining data is based on 31st Mar, and therefore some numbers might
not match the current CU profile.

disease. (Mapped coding level)
Age Range: The injured worker's age group as of the time of injury. Child workers are aged under 15. Young Workers are aged 15 to 24. General workers are
between 25 and 54. Mature Worker are older than 55.
Assessable Payroll: The amount of payroll used in computing an employer's assessment amount in a given classification unit (CU), summed for all Employer-CUs
in the report selection criteria.
Assessment Amount: The amount of assessment an employer will pay as a result of being assessed at the Net Rate (i.e. with consideration of the experience
rating and/or transitioning), summed for all Employer-CUs in the report selection criteria.
Body Part: The body part or bodily system, directly affected by an injury or disease identified in the nature of injury classification. (Mapped coding level)
Claim Cost Paid: The sum of all health-care (HC) payments, short term disability (STD) payments, vocational rehabilitation (VR) payments, long-term disability
(LTD) reserves and one-time cash awards, and survivor benefit reserves and one-time cash awards charged in the year, regardless of the year of injury.
Classification Unit (CU): is the lowest level of industry grouping used by the WorkSafeBC.
Employer Count: A count of the number of employers with Person Years greater than zero in the given year. A multi-classification employer will be counted for
each of the CUs that are included in the report selection criteria.
First-Paid LTD claims: The number of claims with long-term disability costs (LTD reserve or a cash award) where the first LTD payment date is within the year.
Claims may have payments under other benefit types.
Injury Rate: The number of non-health care only claims per 100 person-years of covered employment, where 100 person-years is the equivalent of 100 full-time
& part-time employees working in the year.
24
Definitions
Inspection Reports: The number of documents that record Safety and Health Inspections and related activities. A Safety and Health Inspection usually involves a
visit by a Prevention Officer to a jobsite to assess compliance with the regulations and to observe procedures and conditions at the site, or to communicate
assessed non-compliance to the employer.
Mature Worker Claims: The number of STD/LTD/Fatal Claims where the worker is aged 55 or older at the time of injury.
Nature of Injury: The injury or illness in terms of its principal physical characteristics. (Mapped coding level)

Return to Work (RTW): The number of times workers returned to work in the year who returned within the given period (e.g. within 4 weeks, within 26 weeks).
The percentage represents the RTW count divided by the total number returning or not returning to work. RTW is not displayed in a given year if there are fewer
