10. WSIB (Workplace Safety
Insurance Board) SUMMARY
There were five
WSIB reports filed in March for Malton which resulted in two lost time claims.
Acting Health &
Safety Specialist stated that tracking of the origin of the Malton inhalation
claims in 2005 has been complicated, since the maintenance codes used on work
orders can mean many different things, therefore making it difficult to
determine cause from codes used. The VCR spreadsheets logged thru
Report/Allocation have been requested, to try to determine origin/cause of
fumes; however, unless information known at time of VCR, we may not be able to
ascertain origin/cause.
