2023 injury trends show a favourable decline

September 19, 2024

The injury trends in long-term care and home and community care have declined favourably from 2022’s results, but both sectors remain higher than other professions in the province.

101,714 workdays were lost to injury in long-term care, while 13,354 were lost in home and community care. Overexertion remains the top injury event in both sectors.

We’ve prepared these infographics so you can take a closer look at the data, and discover what we can do to help you continue to bring these rates down.
