Ontario Workplace Safety Event Reports from 2011 to 2015

Over 4 years, from 2011/2012 to 2014/2015, the Government of Ontario's Ministry of Labour tracked unique events reported regarding workplace health and safety. It aggregates counts of work refusals, complaints, incidents, illnesses, and other event types. This data is sourced from the ministry's case management system and is subject to updates.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in 'work refusals' versus 'complaints' over the 4-year period to assess worker safety concerns.
• Model the frequency of reported 'incidents' and 'illnesses' by fiscal year to identify high-risk periods.
• Correlate the total number of 'unique ministry event IDs' with external economic or industry data to study reporting drivers.

Strengths

• Covers a defined 4-year time range from 2011/2012 to 2014/2015.
• Data is aggregated by unique event IDs, reducing duplicate counts.
• Published by a government ministry, providing an official reporting perspective.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and sample size for statistical reliability.
• Data is a point-in-time snapshot and may not align with other sources.
• Temporal coverage ends in 2015, limiting analysis of recent trends.
