Severity is a standard CEA measure and is defined as the number of calendar days lost due to injury, per 200,000 hours worked. These definitions have been generally harmonized with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards for safety statistics.

The Severity results at year end were 31.38. While the targeted level of 29 was not achieved, the reduction to 31.38 can still be considered excellent and a noteable demonstration of performance improvement throughout the year. BC Hydro experienced very few serious incidents in fiscal 2007, and only five per cent of the injuries accounted for 46 per cent of the days lost that impacted the severity rate. This level of Severity positions us well as we move into fiscal 2008.

Severity (resulting from the more serious time loss incidents) remains a focus going forward. Our long term Severity goal is well below the CEA composite.
