Overview
The data reported in this publication comes from the Employer's Annual Hazardous Occurrence Report (EAHOR) submitted by federally regulated employers to the Labour Program each year. The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations under the Canada Labour Code stipulate this reporting requirement.
Under the OHS regulations of the Canada Labour Code, federally regulated employers are required to submit the EAHOR report, no later than March 1 for the preceding 12-month period ending December 31, even if there are no hazardous occurrences to report. The EAHOR records the total number of disabling injuries, deaths, minor injuries, occupational diseases and other hazardous occurrences that have occurred in federally regulated workplaces.
Failure to comply with the requirement to submit the EAHOR by March 1 may result in a general inspection of workplaces to determine if there are other areas of non-compliance with obligations under the Canada Labour Code.
This publication presents both information and analysis on the Disabling Injury Frequency Rate (DIFR) and the Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR) for 2019. It also provides the statistics at the level of the industry sector and province/territory. The definitions of these rates and other relevant terms are found in the List of Terms of this publication. Information on all injury rates and historical data dating back to 2008 are available at the Government of Canada’s Open Data Portal.
Industry sectors under federal jurisdiction
According to the Canada Labour Code, federal jurisdiction encompasses any work and/or undertaking or business that is within the legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada. This includes all work deemed to be for the common good of at least 2 provinces and outside the exclusive authority of provincial legislatures. For a detailed list of federally regulated industries and workplaces visit the webpage.
Highlights: the federal jurisdiction work injury and fatality rates
- There were a total number of 47,299 injuries (disabling injuries, fatal injuries and minor injuries) reported in 2019. This is a 4.2% decrease from 2018 (49,366)
- Of the total number of injuries in 2019, 20,850 (44.1%) were disabling injuries, 66 (0.14%) were fatal injuries and 26,383 (55.8%) were minor injuries. All 3 types of injuries decreased from 2018
- The 2019 federal jurisdiction DIFR is 9.39. This is an increase of 1.0% from the 2018 DIFR of 9.3. It is the third-highest DIFR in the past 10 years (2010 to 2019)
- Of the 7 industry sectors with a DIFR higher than the 2019 federal jurisdiction DIFR, Feed, Flour and Seed underwent the most noted increase of 58.2%, rising from 7.65 in 2015 to 12.10 in 2019. See Chart 1.4 for the DIFR values for all industry sectors and Charts 3.1 (a) and Chart 3.1 (b) for historical trends for the 7 industry sectors with the highest 2019 DIFR values
- Overall, 10 of the 16 industry sectors under federal jurisdiction reported fatalities in 2019. The Road, Air, and Rail Transportation, Indigenous, Aboriginal and First Nations, and Federal Public Services, Public Service Departments and Crown Corporations industry sectors reported fatalities in every year from 2015 to 2019
- The 2019 federal jurisdiction FIFR is 29.64. This is a decrease of 13.4% from the 2018 FIFR of 34.24. This results from a decrease of 10 fatalities in the Road Transportation industry from 47 in 2018 to 37 in 2019. It is the third-highest FIFR in the past 10 years (2010 to 2019)
- The 3 industry sectors with the highest FIFR values for 2019 were Road (112.93) and Rail Transportation (71.77) and Feed, Flour and Seed (54.02)
- Since 2008, Road Transportation has consistently reported FIFR values above the federal jurisdiction rates. The fatality rate for Rail Transportation increased by 376.6% from 15.06 (1 fatal injury) in 2015 to 71.77 (5 fatal injuries) in 2019. See Chart 1.6 for FIFR values for all industry sectors and Chart 3.2 (a) and Chart 3.2 (b) for historical trends of the 7 industry sectors with the highest 2019 FIFR values

Disabling Injury Frequency Rate (DIFR)
The DIFR is defined as the total number of reported disabling and fatal injuries per one million hours worked. It is considered the primary performance measure for the OHS program in the federal jurisdiction. In 2019, 7 of the 16 industry sectors under federal jurisdiction reported DIFRs higher than the federal jurisdiction rate of 9.39 (See Chart 1.4). These industries were:
- POST
- ROAD
- AIRT
- FEED
- LONG
- RAIL and
- WATER
With the exception of RAIL, the remaining 6 industry sectors reported greater DIFR values than the federal jurisdiction rate in both 2018 and 2019. LONG, POST, WATER and AIRT reported a decrease in 2019 compared to 2018. FEED underwent the most noted increase of 58.2%, rising from 7.65 in 2015 to 12.10 in 2019 (See Chart 3.1 (a) and Chart 3.1 (b)).

Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR)
The FIFR is defined as the total number of reported fatal injuries per one billion hours worked. In 2019, 10 of the 16 industry sectors that fall within federal jurisdiction reported fatalities. Amongst these, 7 industry sectors reported higher FIFR values than the federal jurisdiction rate (29.64):
- ROAD
- RAIL
- FEED
- AIRT
- WATER
- BROAD, and
- LONG
ROAD, RAIL, WATER, FEED, BROAD and LONG were the 6 industry sectors having a higher FIFR value than that of federal jurisdiction in both 2018 and 2019. AIRT reported an increase of 113% from 2018 (22.54) to 2019 (48.10). RAIL increased by 376.6% from 15.06 (1 fatal injury) in 2015 to 71.77 (5 fatal injuries) in 2019.

Occupational injuries amongst employees under federal jurisdiction by province or territory, 2019
Disabling injuries
In 2019, 4 provinces (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta) accounted for 83.2% of all reported disabling injuries (see Chart 2.1). This can be attributed to these 4 provinces’ combined share of 84.4% of all reported federal jurisdiction employment (See Chart 2.2), and 84.1% of all the reported total hours worked (See Chart 2.3). The regional distribution of the total numbers of disabling injury numbers has seen little change compared to 2018.

Annex 1: List of terms
The following definitions are used in this publication.
Disabling injury
Any employment injury or occupational disease that:
- prevents an employee from reporting for work, or from effectively performing all the duties connected with the employee’s regular work, on any day subsequent to the day on which the occupational injury occurred, whether or not that subsequent day is a working day for that employee
- results in the loss by an employee of a body member or a part thereof, or in a complete loss of the usefulness of a body member or part thereof, or
- results in the permanent impairment of a bodily function of an employee
Disabling Injury Frequency Rate (DIFR)
Defined as the total number of disabling and fatal occupational injuries per one million hours worked. It is calculated based on the following formula: ((Total Disabling Injuries + Total Fatal Injuries)*1,000,000/Total Hours Worked).
Employee
Any person who has entered into or is employed under a contract of service or apprenticeship, written or oral, expressed or implied, whether by way of manual labour or otherwise. An employee is also any other person subject to the provisions of a workers’ compensation board act or any direction or order of a board.
Employment
- All work or activities performed in carrying out assignments or requests made by the employer. It includes related activities not specifically covered by an assignment or request
- Any voluntary work or activities undertaken while on duty for the benefit of the employer
- Any activities undertaken while on duty with the consent or approval of the employer
Fatal injury
An occupational injury or disease resulting in death.
Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR)
Defined as the total number of fatal occupational injuries per one billion hours worked. It is calculated based on the following formula: (Total Fatal Injuries*1,000,000,000/Total Hours Worked).
Federal jurisdiction
Federal jurisdiction covers:
- works, undertakings or businesses that are within the legislative authority of Parliament, and
- work declared to be for the general advantage of 2 or more provinces outside the exclusive authority of the provincial legislatures
Federal jurisdiction defined under the Canada Labour Code covers specific industries and their infrastructures. Consult the section Industry sectors under federal jurisdiction for the list of federally regulated industries.
Full-time Equivalent (FTE)
Refers to the employment of one person full time. It may also refer to more than one person part time whose total working time is the equivalent of one person working full time. FTEs are measured in person-years. For example:
- 100 people employed full time equals 100 FTEs
- 10 people employed half time equals 5 FTEs
- all 110 people combined represent 105 FTEs
Minor injury
An occupation injury or disease, excluding disabling injuries, for which treatment at a medical facility is provided.
Occupational injury
Any injury, disease or illness incurred by an employee in the performance of, or in connection with, his or her work.
