As the city filed it

This report provides information on the status of the City's health and safety system, specifically performance for 2022 and actions and priorities to address identified hazards. There was a 25.4% increase in the number of lost time injuries (LTIs) in 2022 relative to 2021. This increase was primarily due to workplace exposures to COVID-19. The City continually followed the guidance provided by the federal and provincial governments as well as advice provided by Toronto Public Health with respect to its pandemic response.

There was a 13.3% decrease in the number of recurrences and a 1.5% increase in the number of medical aid injuries in 2022 relative to 2021. The overall invoiced costs related to the City's current Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) firm number increased from $39.8 million in 2021 to $49.5 million in 2022. This increase in costs is primarily attributed to claims for mental/emotional illnesses or disorders, followed by those attributed to firefighter cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders resulting from exertion, repetition, awkward posture and vibration/jarring.
