Annual Reporting

Electricity Canada compiles data from its member companies annually to support industry-wide benchmarking and drive safety culture improvements.

Overview

Statistics are a tool to understand safety-related matters in the electrical industry. The frequency and severity of injuries offer insight into the challenges utilities have been, or are, experiencing. Tracking these statistics allows utilities to identify focused areas to target and helps them develop and refine strategies to reduce injuries and incidents.

Electricity Canada’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee’s Safety Performance Sub Committee maintains and revises the standard applied by member companies to ensure consistent reporting and reliable performance benchmarking across the industry. This document is based on Electricity Canada reporting requirements unique to the industry but is consistent with recognized external standards where applicable.
