Workplace Deaths On The Rise in Canada

Everyone complains about the pressures of work from time to time – but a new study suggests our jobs might actually be killing us, and in greater numbers.
The report, released Tuesday by the Centre for the Study of Living Standards, found that 1,097 people in Canada died as a result of a work-related disease or accident in 2005. That's a startling 18 per cent increase over the previous year, at a time when numbers are generally going down in economically stable nations.
"I was very surprised when the numbers were that high," said the centre's executive director, Dr. Andrew Sharpe. "We haven't had that high an increase in a long time – possibly ever – in terms of the absolute number of percentage increase."
Sharpe figures last year's increase is attributable to occupational diseases – a third of which were directly related to asbestos exposure.
"part of the reason for the increase in the worker fatalities is the aging of this cohort that was exposed to asbestos in the past," he said, adding that asbestos miners working now have the proper protection.
"in that sense, it's a problem that we've taken care of. It's just because of the latency period we're seeing more deaths now."
Fishing, mining, oil wells, forestry and construction are the most dangerous industries to be in, according to the study. The safest were finance and insurance.
The highest provincial fatality rate was in Newfoundland, with 11.7 deaths per 100,000 workers in 2005, higher than the national average of 6.8 deaths per 100,000.
Ontario had the most fatalities in 2005 with 412, followed by Quebec with 223 and British Columbia with 189.
The study was based on provincial workers' compensation information and statistics were calculated based on the average Canadian working 230 days annually.
