Workplace injuries are related to the health conditions of workers. Productivity is related to time lost due to injuries. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) in Ontario measures Lost-Time Injuries (LTIs) and No Lost-Time Injuries (NLTIs).
WSIB cites Total Injuries as all allowed injury/illness claims by workers (lost-time, no lost-time, and traumatic fatality). WSIB classifies employers according to whether they are Schedule 1 (businesses and industries) or Schedule 2 (eg. provincial government, municipalities, school boards, public library boards, international bridges, railways).
In 2013 in Niagara, there were 1,720 Allowed Lost Time claims for people working for Schedule 1 employers, and 325 for people working for Schedule 2 employers.
