Actions Speak Louder Than Words Every day, workers are exposed to a variety of hazards that can result in injury or illness. Many of us are aware of this fact, but do we act like we are? Methods exist to eliminate and control workplace hazards, yet every day workers put themselves at risk. In 2012, the Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada announced that the number of workplacerelated fatalities in Canada was reported at 977, just above the yearly average of 972. Even more staggering, however, is that the number of injuries reported coming in just over 245,000. But these statistics only scratch the surface. Neither of these figures accounts for the thousands of additional workers who are injured or killed from under-reported illnesses and occupational diseases that go unrecognized by the compensation system. The numbers seem to suggest that—although we know our jobs are hazardous—we are not acting safely. The reality is, however, that a large percentage of the workplace incidents that occur each year are preventable. Hazard identification, assessment, and control are all processes that we can begin to implement in our workplaces to help prevent injuries and fatalities from occurring.
