WorkSafeBC’s Mandate

4 Prepared by Business Information & Analysis, WorkSafeBC


The good news Update on 2016 rates (preliminary) • 2016 average base rate is flat at $1.70 ― same as 2015 and 2014 • Our investment portfolio outperformed actuarial requirements again in 2014 • Injury rates remain at near historical low levels • Recent encouraging claim cost trends need to continue for average rates to

remain flat or go down


Looking forward The financial environment

Expecting lower investment returns over the next few years, partly due to: • Historically low bond yields • Slow-to-moderate growth in developed and emerging economies • Geo-political risks in the Ukraine and the middle east

• Encouraging recent trends in claims costs need to be leveraged and expanded
