All Injury Frequency (Number of employee injury incidents per 200,000 hours worked)

	F2004	F2005	F2006	F2007	F2008	F2009 Plan
Target	2.7	2.3	2.1	1.9	1.9	2.4
Actual	2.6	2.6	2.4	2.4	2.8

All Injury Frequency (AIF) is a standard Canadian Electricity Association (CEA) measure and is defined as the total number of employee Medical Aids and Disabling Injuries occurring in the last 12 months per 200,000 hours worked. Medical aid injuries are those where a medical practitioner has rendered services beyond the level defined as "first aid" and the employee was not absent from work after the day of the injury. Disabling injuries are those where the employee is absent beyond the day of injury.

Although the aggressive target of 1.9 was not achieveable, corporate performance at 2.8 remains excellent in comparison to CEA peers where the composite utility frequency rate is at 3.0. It should be noted that the overall CEA trend has sustained an 11 per cent annual reduction in AIF over the past eight years. While AIF has risen slightly this past fiscal year, there have been very few serious (life threatening or permanently disabling) injury incidents in the period. The reduction or elimination of serious "high risk" incidents remains the focus in our immediate safety strategy, and this accounts for a levelling in the short-term targets for AIF. We do remain committed to achieving our Long Term Goal of 0.5 AIF by 2025.

Severity (Number of calendar days lost due to injury per 200,000 hours worked)

	F2004	F2005	F2006	F2007	F2008	F2009 Plan
Target	N/A	N/A	N/A	29	25	25
Actual	N/A	36.3	57.3	31.4	39.3

Severity is also a CEA standardized measure and it is defined as the number of calendar days lost due to injury per 200,000 hours worked.

The Severity position at year end was 39.3. As noted in the AIF section above, the numbers of serious incidents were reduced but significant time loss still accrued as a result of several vehicle incidents and a small number of other events. Our fiscal 2009 Safety Plan is focused on enhancement of hazard identification and confirmation of barriers to control the hazards. This should have a positive impact on both incident volume and on reducing the amount of injury related time loss going forward. The CEA Composite for Severity holds at about the 16 level, and BC Hydro's Long Term Severity Goal (<10 by 2025) remains in place to achieve closely comparative results.

Note: Both AIF and Severity metrics, as defined in the CEA Standard, are generally harmonized with the U.S. Occupatonal Safety and Health Administration Standards for safety statistics.
