" WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION BOARD\nPROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA\nFifty-fir st\nANNUAL REPORT\nYear Ended December 31, 1967\n REPORT OF THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION BOARD\nVancouver, B.C., February 23, 1968.\nTo His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor in Council of the Province of British Columbia.\nMay it please Your Honour:\nSir,\u00E2\u0080\u0094As required by subsection (1) of section 58 of the Workmen's Compensation Act,\nwe now submit our Fifty-first Annual Report\nof the Board for the year ended December 31,\n1967.\nThe activities of the Board in the fields of-\nclaims processing, rehabilitation, rating and\nassessing employers under the Act, and accident\nprevention continued at a steady pace, as will\nbe noted in the statements and statistics shown\nin this Report.\nIn most industrial classifications, higher assessment rates were levied during the year to\nprovide the funds to make increased benefits\npossible.\nAt year-end the Board made major administrative changes to take effect January 1, 1968.\nA Claims Advisory Service Department was\nestablished to assist workmen, employers, and\ntheir representatives, who require assistance in\nthe processing of work injury claims.\nThe purpose of this new department is to\nensure the highest standards of prompt and\nefficient service to workmen and employers\ncovered by the Act.\nThe claims advisory service will also provide\ninformation to claimants or their representatives\nin person or by correspondence, give advice on\nproblems referred to it, and explain the reasons\nfor decisions on claims. The service will pinpoint and inform the Board of Commissioners\nof specific problems in adjudication and service\nprovided by Board departments.\nA full-time Board of Review to hear appeals\non claims was established by the Board of Commissioners.\nThe Board of Review will consist of three\nfull-time members, who have had considerable\nexperience in the adjudication of claims, who\nare thoroughly trained in Board procedures\nand regulations, and who have a sound working\nknowledge of the Act. One member will be\nappointed to act as Chairman.\nThe Board of Review will be completely independent of the Claims or other departments.\nIt will deal with claims and related matters\nwhich come before it, having regard only to the\nprovisions of the Act, regulations, and pro\ncedures which have been laid down, and the\nbasic principles of workmen's compensation.\nPrior to a review of a claim by the Board of\nReview and prior to a decision being reached,\nit shall not be discussed by the Chairman, a\nCommissioner, or employee of the Board with\nthe Board of Review or any of its members.\nThe Board of Review will have the right to\nobtain opinions from medical and legal officers\nof the Board and independent medical specialists. In addition, the Board of Review will\nhave full discretion to determine its procedures\nand may compel attendance of witnesses and\nexamine them under oath, compel the production and inspection of documents, and shall\nhave all of the other powers conferred upon the\nBoard under section 74 of the Workmen's Compensation Act.\nThe Board of Review will, over the signature\nof the Board of Review Chairman, give in writing full reasons for its decision to the interested\nparties concurrently with the announcement of\nits decision.\nINDUSTRIAL PAYROLLS-\nCOVERAGE\u00E2\u0080\u0094ASSESSMENTS\nDuring the year 1967 there were 5,830 new\nfirm accounts established and 774 closed accounts revived, while 5,324 employers ceased\ntheir operations under the Act. Hence at the\nend of the year the number of firms on our\nactive register of employers showed a net gain\nof 1,280 from the total at the end of 1966. For\nthe past 10 years the year-end totals were:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n1958 29,198 1963 33,199\n1959 31,085 1964 34,704\n1960 31,035 1965 36,321\n1961 31,513 1966 37,273\n1962 32,123 1967 38,553\nIndividual employers, partners in a partnership, independent operators, and others who\nare not automatically workmen within the\nmeaning of the Act may apply for optional\npersonal protection. A total of 8,635 persons\ntook advantage of this coverage in 1967, comprised of 1,950 independent fishermen, 817\nother independent operators, and 5,868 employers' personal coverage. A five-year comparison is as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n Independent fishermen \t\nIndependent operators\t\nEmployers' personal coverage\t\nTotals\t\n1963\n1964\n1965\n1966\n1967\n1,816\n1,822\n1,965\n2,084\n1,950\n595\n697\n819\n843\n817\n5,539\n6,043\n6,122\n6,097\n5,868\n7,950\n8,562\n8,906\n9,024\n8,635\nFarming is not an industry which is automatically within the scope of Part I of the Act,\nbut coverage may be extended on application.\nDuring 1967, 319 employers in this industry\ncovered their workmen for the whole or part of\nthe year. Of these, 51 were new applications\nreceived in 1967. During the year 46 farm\noperators withdrew their applications for coverage.\nFarm operators covered-\t\nNew applications received-\nApplications withdrawn\t\n1963\n1964\n1965\n1966\n1967\n255\n274\n284\n297\n319\n48\n51\n49\n45\n51\n32\n38\n33\n29\n46\nApart from handling these applications for\noptional personal protection and new and cancelled firm accounts, our registrations section\nalso dealt with many other firm accounts with\nrespect to changes in name, address, or indus\ntrial classification. In total, 25,119 firm accounts were processed during the year.\nThe chart below illustrates the trend in assessable payrolls within the past few years:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nCHART SHOWING TOTAL INDUSTRIAL PAYROLLS ASSESSED UNDER THE ACT\nEACH YEAR FOR THE YEARS 1958 TO 1967\nDuring the year 1967 the Board's staff of 27\nfield auditors submitted 48,820 reports showing\nthe audited assessable payroll of employers engaged in industries within the scope of Part I\nof the Act. This entailed 26,555 visits to\nemployer's premises, audit of 3,830 records\nbrought into the Board offices by employers,\nand audit of 18,435 statutory declarations received by mail. The total assessable payroll\nfor the year 1966 amounted to $2,807,959,853,\nwhich was over $468 million hiaher than the\ntotal for 1965. Some of this increase, however,\nwas due to the amendment of the Act in November, 1965, which raised the maximum from\n$5,000 to $6,600 with respect to the annual assessable earnings for an individual workman.\nA final figure for payrolls assessed in 1967 will\nnot be available until the end of this year, but\npreliminary estimates indicate that it will be at\nleast $152 million higher than that for 1966.\nFor the past 10 years the total assessable payrolls havp.

This is\nsummarized monthly as to the reasons for any\nextended delay. Approximately 37 per cent of\nclaimants received the first payment within 14\nday of lay-off. Where delays occur, the main\nreasons are the incompleteness of information\nsupplied on the forms filed by workmen or discrepancies in the information supplied by the\nworkmen, employers, and doctors. Other delays are caused by the late filing of workmen's\nand employers' forms. This results in a great\ndeal of further time-consuming correspondence\nor other inquiry before the claims can be adjudicated.\nAverage time in 1967 from lay-off to date of\nfirst payment of time-loss was 20 days.\nThroughout the year a Travelling Medical\nBoard visited specific areas in the Province to\nhold medical examinations and discussions with\nworkmen in respect to their claims. This examining board visited 27 examination centres and\nconducted 885 medical examinations. In addition to the above, claims field officers travelled\nthroughout the Province to interview workmen\nwith respect to their claims problems and to obtain further information that might be of assistance in adjudication of claims. In all, these\nofficers handled queries on 1,536 claims, necessitating interviews with workmen, pensioners,\nemployers, doctors, and other parties.\nDuring the year the Board of Review gave\nthorough study to 4,118 claims and conducted\n183 hearings on claims. Hearings are held at\nthe request of the workman, union agent, solicitor, or employer. At times the Board of Review also may request a workman, an employer,\nor a witness to appear in an endeavour to obtain\nfurther information that may help to establish\nthe claim.\nThe Medical Review Panel conducted 94\nmedical examinations and appeals during 1967.\nThe Medical Review Panel is established under\nsection 55 of the Act to consider appeals made\nby workmen or employers involving bona fide\nmedical disputes. Results of these appeals are\ngiven in detail to the workmen concerned, and\nthe Medical Review Panel certificate is conclusive as to the matters certified and is binding on\nthe Board.\nThe worst industrial disaster in 1967 was the\nNatal coal-mine explosion, which occurred\nApril 3rd. This tragic accident took the lives of\n15 miners and 10 more were injured. It was\nthe worst coal-mine disaster in British Columbia since 1930, when 45 men lost their lives in\nan explosion in the Blakeburn coal mine.\nBecause of the enormity of the disaster to the\nsmall community of Natal, the Board dispatched\na claims field officer to the Natal area immediately to assist widows and injured workmen\nwith their compensation claims.\nThe total compensation cost of the Natal\ndisaster was $504,105.76. After representations had been made by the British Columbia\nMining Association and the Crows Nest Industries Limited, the Board of Commissioners\nagreed to charge 50 per cent of the costs involved to the reserve fund set up under section\n34 (1) (b) of the Workmen's Compensation Act.\nMedical aid paid for injured workmen covers\nhospital costs, medical fees, drugs, nurses, and\nsurgical supplies. Physiotherapy treatments are\nalso given to injured workmen at the Workmen's Compensation Board Rehabilitation Centre and other centres in outlying areas. When\nrequired, transportation and subsistence allowances are paid for workmen while undergoing\nmedical examinations and treatment.\nThe amount paid for medical aid for injured workmen in 1967 includes:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nHospital costs $2,582,033\nFees to medical and other practitioners 2,114,372\nNurses, drugs, and surgical supplies 447,905\nPhysiotherapy 648,753\nTransportation and subsistence 321,817\nTotal $6,114,880\nWhile the \"medical aid only\" category of\nclaims represents 65 per cent of the total\nnumber of injuries, less than 3 per cent of the\ncompensation dollar is paid out to workmen\ninvolved in this kind of accident. \" Temporary\ntotal disability \" cases (popularly called \" time\nloss\" accidents) represent 33 per cent of the\ninjuries and take 50 per cent of the compensation dollar. \" Permanent disability \" cases,\nwhile representing only 1.7 per cent of the total\ninjuries, take up 34 per cent of the compensation dollar. Relatively, fatalities occur rarely,\nonly two-tenths of 1 per cent of the total injuries, but then account for 13 per cent of the\ncompensation dollar.\n TOTAL COMPENSATION DOLLARS\nWM MEDICAL AID ONLY CASES\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0i TEMPORARY TOTAL DISABILITY CASES\nnnnj PERMANENT DISABILITY CASES\nHill FATALITIES\n15,000,000\n10,000,000\n5,000,000\n1963\n1967\n SILICOSIS, PNEUMOCONIOSIS, AND ASBESTOSIS\nPart I of the following statement shows the\nnumber of annual chest X-rays and medical\nexaminations made for the years 1963 to 1967,\ninclusive.

The treatment staff has remained fairly constant and consists of 6 medical\nofficers and a radiologist, 19 physiotherapists,\n9 occupational therapists, 9 remedial gymnasts,\nand 8 work officers.\nDepartments of Physiotherapy, Occupational\nTherapy, and Remedial Gymnastics have been\nwell developed for many years and continue to\nplay a very important and necessary part in the\ntreatment programme. However, the Industrial\nDepartment was only established in June, 1966,\nand has been gradually expanded to meet the\nincreased demands made upon it. Activities are\ndesigned to provide work of an interesting and\nproductive nature and are most useful in the\nlatter stages of recovery. Although specific\nexercises continue as part of the treatment programme, the emphasis in the Industrial Department is on work that improves the workman's\nstrength and work tolerance and is not directed\nto the specific injury. In addition to work areas\nfor sheet metal, welding, wrought-iron work,\nconstruction, and motor mechanics, special\nequipment has been added to meet the requirements of loggers. A Pan-Abode hut was purchased for erection and disassembling by patients who are carpenters and construction\nworkers. This department is able to make\navailable many types of work projects which\nare interesting and productive in nature.\nA special programme has been developed\nfor back disabilities. By making use of films,\nlectures, demonstrations, and printed booklets,\nconventional treatment is provided for the\nacute stage of the disability, followed by specific instruction in bending and lifting techniques, including their practical application on\nsuitable work projects. It is believed that by\nproviding treatment and information in regard\nto the care of the back, an injured workman\ncan resume employment with less likelihood\nof a recurrence.\nThe number of patients treated in hospitals\nis much lower than in previous years. There\nis no longer any necessity for Board therapists\nto treat workmen in the acute hospitals because adequate treatment is now provided by\nmembers of the hospital staff. Therefore,\nBoard therapists are only required to attend\npatients in the convalescent hospitals where\nlong-term cases require attention.\nThe centre continues to assume its responsibility to the community by contributing to the\neducation of paramedical personnel. University and hospital authorities are given co-operation in the training of interns and nurses in\nphysiotherapy and occupational therapy.\nStatistics for the years 1966 and 1967:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n1966 1967\n1.

Average number of patients treated in hospitals\nper day 31 14\nVOCATIONAL REHABILITATION\nAll sections of this department were very\nactive during 1967. A total of 9,834 interviews\nwas held\u00E2\u0080\u00945,349 interviews with workmen referred, 3,028 interviews with employers, and\n1,457 calls were made to the various vocational\nschools, trade unions, government agencies, and\nothers.\nThe rehabilitation officers made 84 field trips,\n44 of which were confined to Vancouver Island,\nthe balance to Northern British Columbia,\nKootenays, Okanagan, and Fraser Valley areas.\nThe figures below will indicate a slight increase in case load from the previous year, but\nnot a large variation in the five-year period 1963\nto 1967:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n 1963\nCases accepted for vocational service 248\nCases carried over from previous year 533\nTotal cases dealt with 781\nReturned to former employer 78\nReturned to work with other employer 142\nSelf-employed 11\nTotal cases closed as rehabilitated 231\nCases closed as not rehabilitated 72\nNumber of interviews with claimants 5,799\nNumber of interviews with employers 2,185\nNumber of interviews with other agencies 1,104\n1964\n324\n486\n1965\n349\n508\n1966\n387\n418\n1967\n437\n456\n810\n857\n805\n893\n63\n156\n19\n84\n203\n17\n83\n194\n13\n93\n207\n21\n238\n304\n290\n321\n64\n135\n59\n119\n6,022\n2,199\n1,109\n6,154\n2,359\n1,179\n5,471\n2.804\n1,168\n5.349\n3,028\n1,457\nOrientation meetings of clinic patients continued through 1967, with a total of nearly 2,000\nattending. The patients demonstrate a keen\ninterest in these meetings, asking numerous\nquestions and having many of their problems\nresolved at that point.\nVOCATIONAL TRAINING\nThe Board sponsored vocational training for\n86 workmen during the past year in a wide\nvariety of occupations. The average cost of\ntraining these workmen was $553.53 excluding\nadministration costs.\nIn addition to the 86 sponsored workmen\nduring 1967, there were 32 in training from the\nprevious year. One hundred and seven training\ncases were closed during the year, and of this\nnumber, 61 are presently employed as trained,\n24 employed other than as trained, 22 not rehabilitated.\nDuring 1967 the department conducted its\nsecond survey of the Board's vocational training programme covering the period January 1,\n1959, to December 31, 1965. The previous\nreview was undertaken in 1960 and covered the\nperiod 1943 to 1958, inclusive.\nQuestionnaires were forwarded to 393 persons who had received and completed vocational\ntraining between the years 1959 and 1965. Of\nthis number, 353 workmen responded, or 90 per\ncent of total.\nThe following analysis indicates the good results of the work of this department in that 84\nper cent of the workmen have benefited by the\ntraining programmes. That it is appreciated is\ndemonstrated by the many letters of appreciation which the Board has received from workmen who have been rehabilitated.\nOf the total of 607 Board-sponsored training\ncases during the years 1959 to 1965, 214 were\nnot canvassed because their addresses were un\navailable or for other reasons. An analysis of\nthe results of the survey is as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nWorkmen trained 607\nQuestionnaires sent 393\nQuestionnaires returned 353 (90%)\nQuestionnaires not returned1 40 (10%)\nQuestionnaires not sent2 214\nWorkmen employed as trained 223 (63%)\nWorkmen who have worked as trained .75 (21%)\nWorkmen employed in other occupations\t\n 48 (14%)\nWorkmen unemployed 7 (2%)\n1 Thirty-seven of these workmen were employed when rehabilitation records were closed.\n- Reasons: Workmen employed when rehabilitation records\nclosed, training not completed, addresses unavailable, deceased,\netc.\nThe recent structural changes in the employment service of Canada is being watched with\ninterest by all agencies. Meetings with regional\nand metropolitan officers of Canada Manpower\nindicate an awareness on the part of these officials of the need to adopt the rehabilitative approach which, along with appointment of rehabilitation officers, will provide a greatly improved service for employers, agencies, and the\nworking population. These meetings will continue during 1968 and should result in a better\nco-ordination of services and an improved referral system.\nAll Canadian Workmen's Compensation\nBoards were invited to send delegates to a meeting of Chief Rehabilitation Officers held in the\nOntario Workmen's Compensation Hospital and\nRehabilitation Centre at Downsview, Ont., May\n9 to 11, 1967. The meeting was jointly sponsored by the Ontario and Saskatchewan Boards.\nEight Provinces, including British Columbia,\nwere represented at this three-day meeting, the\nobjective being discussions of work standards,\nstaff-training, vocational training, and problems\nthat are common to all rehabilitation departments.\nin\n ACCIDENT PREVENTION, INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE, VENTILATION,\nDUST CONTROL, AND FIRST AID\nIn 1967 the department continued a high\nlevel of activity. Reports of the various sections show that in most areas, whether of routine\nwork or special projects, the year was the busiest\nin the history of the department.\nA satisfactory experience with the Accident\nPrevention Regulations, adopted March 1,1966,\ncontinued to be evident in 1967, and these regulations are reported to have been a model for\nsome other jurisdictions.\nDuring the year special attention was given\nto the problem of excessive dust evolution in\nrock-crushing plants within the scope of the\nWorkmen's Compensation Act for accident-prevention purposes. The adoption of satisfactory\ndust-control measures in such rock-crushers is\nnow effective, though the situation is under continuing review and scrutiny.\nConsultations were held with committees\nfrom industrial and management groups for the\npurpose of standardizing the application of requirements of operator guarding of certain yarding, loading, and log-skidding equipment. The\nconstructive assistance of the conferees from\nindustry, manufacturers, and labour has resulted\nin the development of a more standardized\napproach to compliance with the appropriate\nregulations.\nDuring the year the department received, reviewed, and processed minutes of 8,659 safety\ncommittee meetings in industry. The extensive\nfilm library recorded 2,135 bookings and, in\naddition to regular mailing of accident-prevention promotional material, the department filled\n3,348 specific requests for literature.\nDuring the year the department commenced\nquarterly publication of a special digest of articles drawn from various sources which were\nconsidered to have a special significance for the\nindustry of British Columbia.\nIn co-operation with the Public Information\nDepartment, posters, data sheets and descriptive\nmaterial, pamphlets, booklets, programmes, and\nhandbooks were devised, revised, and published.\nThe department continued to enjoy excellent\nco-operation and cordial relations with representatives of labour, with employers, individually\nand as represented by associations, and with\ngovernment departments and other official\norganizations in the Province and in other jurisdictions.\nThe standard of performance in all matters\nassociated with accident prevention in industry\nwithin the scope of the Board's inspection continued to improve.\nINSPECTION\nA total of 19,141 inspections was made in\n1967, constituting the largest number in the\nhistory of the Board. In the course of these\ninspections, 21,572 orders were issued for correction of hazardous conditions and 2,049\norders to improve first-aid facilities.\nThe inspection staff was maintained at 29\nmembers and stationed in centres contiguous\nto the principal concentrations of industrial\nactivities throughout the Province. One inspector was stationed in the Terrace area to give\nmore effective coverage of the expanding wood-\nproducts activities in that region.\nThe latter part of 1967 saw a slow-down in\nthe forest industry in the Interior due to labour-\nmanagement disputes and a consequent work\nstoppage. The inspection staff so idled was\ndiverted to other industries in a temporary capacity.\nThe Duncan Dam was completed during the\nyear, and it is gratifying to note that this project\nwas completed without loss of life and with a\nminimal number of injuries reported. Likewise,\nthe High Arrow Dam project proceeded toward\nearly completion and also maintained a high\nstandard of safety and to date no fatalities have\noccurred. Both the Mica Dam and the Portage\nMountain projects are entering stages where\nspecial vigilance is necessary, and the staff is\ngiving these undertakings particular attention\nand service.\nIn the opening months of the year a study\nwas made of the accident toll prevailing in the\nforest industry, particularly the logging aspect.\nAs a result of this review, the Board approved\na series of workshop programmes aimed to assist control of the losses suffered in this phase\nof industry. These workshops have to date attracted a great number of fallers and buckers,\nand it is confidently anticipated the result will\njustify the efforts expended.\nThroughout the Province a high level of activity continues in installation of sewer and water\nprojects within the municipalities. The inspection staff has devoted a great deal of time in\nensuring that the excavation work is carried out\nwithout undue risk to workmen. Despite this\ncoverage, accidents continue to occur, indicating\nthat insufficient attention is being paid by the\ninstallers to the hazards inherent in this type of\nwork. It was necessary on several occasions\nfor the Board to order employers to remove\nworkmen from hazardous locations until dangerous conditions had been corrected.\n11\n PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMEN\n\u00C2\u00AB\u00C2\u00BBMHHHHBHHHnHH|\nThe use of personal protective equipment is an\nimportant factor in the protection of workers from\ninjury in the thousands of industrial operations\nthroughout the Province.\nThe Board's accident prevention regulations give\nparticular emphasis to this phase of worker protection.\nSome of the more widely used types are pictured\nhere being worn by safety-conscious working men\nand women who regard their personal protective\nequipment as a good friend to have around.\nSAFETY GOGGLES \u00E2\u0080\u0094 used and\nvalued by thousands of B.C. workers.\nJEjUL PPOT^TWJT MJIMMS-^i^l\nFjrF \nbO\n0\n1\nID\ns\no\nJ3\na\nQ\nCD\naoij\n0 a M\nL> CO .,\ngK,\u00C2\u00A3\nco E u\na\nE\nr-\" 2\n1> W5\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A03 cd\n.g-i\nD.T3\nE\nO\nCD\nH\nU\nCO \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\no\nV- CO\nCD CO\nE c\nCD \"O '\no C\nu co\nCD\n*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\" co\nco\n- 33\nco o\n00 S\nB :>.\n10-S-a\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6j a>\n2 \"O *\n2 c e\u00C2\u00AB\nCO\n>>\n\u00C2\u00ABE *?*\nCD\n00 TO\n.53 8\n\"3 -D\ncd *n\nCJ CD\nc\nas\nCO\nS E\ns \u00C2\u00B0\na\n3\n\u00C2\u00A7a*3\ncd O a> >>\ncd tj ,-h s\n= E\nu\n3\n.3 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00C2\u00AB\nu IT\n<3\nO \u00C2\u00A3\nen\ne s\nu\nC 73\nu u\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00B0 i\n4) 3\n3 ,g\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2si\n3 a\n* o\nC o\nCD n>\n8 I\nCT3 oi>:\nct\ a <*>\n.*\u00C2\u00A3 \u00E2\u0080\u0094' \u00C2\u00ABj co\n.y +z \u00E2\u0096\u00A0*-> ^o\nJ3 _ 0 OS\nc i! c2 ^\n3 cu \u00E2\u0096\u00A0_.\no ob c 5\nP E K ^3\nU.
