Pending council approval, the city will have a safety incentive program.
“(The program) would be consisting of communication pieces, pointed training and education, awareness campaigns as well as department safety incentive award programs,” said Al Bromley, director of human resource services with the City of Moose Jaw. “We would like to emphasize themes of hazard identification and correction, anti-violence, respect in the workplace and the delivery of a standardized safety process instruction system throughout our various departments and the work performed.”
In 2007, the city had a Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) surcharge of $251,722. There were 1,382.75 lost time days or 31 lost time claims. In 2013, the city’s surcharge was reduced to $66,207.
In 2014, the city will have a WCB rebate of $17,000. The city had budgeted for a $50,000 surcharge and so the net budgetary savings will be $67,000 for the 2014 budget year.
