Departmental Performance Reports are part of the Estimates family of documents. Estimates documents support appropriation acts, which specify the amounts and broad purposes for which funds can be spent by the government. The Estimates document family has three parts.
Part I (Government Expenditure Plan) provides an overview of federal spending.
Part II (Main Estimates) lists the financial resources required by individual departments, agencies and Crown corporations for the upcoming fiscal year.
Part III (Departmental Expenditure Plans) consists of two documents. Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPPs) are expenditure plans for each appropriated department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). They describe departmental priorities, strategic outcomes, programs, expected results and associated resource requirements, covering a three-year period beginning with the year indicated in the title of the report. Departmental Performance Reports (DPRs) are individual department and agency accounts of actual performance, for the most recently completed fiscal year, against the plans, priorities and expected results set out in their respective RPPs. DPRs inform parliamentarians and Canadians of the results achieved by government organizations for Canadians.
Additionally, Supplementary Estimates documents present information on spending requirements that were either not sufficiently developed in time for inclusion in the Main Estimates or were subsequently refined to account for developments in particular programs and services.
The financial information in DPRs is drawn directly from authorities presented in the Main Estimates and the planned spending information in RPPs. The financial information in DPRs is also consistent with information in the Public Accounts of Canada. The Public Accounts of Canada include the Government of Canada Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Accumulated Deficit, the Consolidated Statement of Change in Net Debt, and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow, as well as details of financial operations segregated by ministerial portfolio for a given fiscal year. For the DPR, two types of financial information are drawn from the Public Accounts of Canada: authorities available for use by an appropriated organization for the fiscal year, and authorities used for that same fiscal year. The latter corresponds to actual spending as presented in the DPR.
The Treasury Board Policy on Management, Resources and Results Structures further strengthens the alignment of the performance information presented in DPRs, other Estimates documents and the Public Accounts of Canada. The policy establishes the Program Alignment Architecture of appropriated organizations as the structure against which financial and non-financial performance information is provided for Estimates and parliamentary reporting. The same reporting structure applies irrespective of whether the organization is reporting in the Main Estimates, the RPP, the DPR or the Public Accounts of Canada.
A number of changes have been made to DPRs for 2013-14 to better support decisions on appropriations. Where applicable, DPRs now provide financial, human resources and performance information in Section II at the lowest level of the organization’s Program Alignment Architecture.
In addition, the DPR’s format and terminology have been revised to provide greater clarity, consistency and a strengthened emphasis on Estimates and Public Accounts information. As well, departmental reporting on the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy has been consolidated into a new supplementary information table posted on departmental websites. This new table brings together all of the components of the Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy formerly presented in DPRs and on departmental websites, including reporting on the Greening of Government Operations and Strategic Environmental Assessments. Section III of the report provides a link to the new table on the organization’s website. Finally, definitions of terminology are now provided in an appendix.
The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) was created to provide reliable and practical occupational health and safety information to assist Canadian employers and workers to be productive, healthy and safe at work. For over 35 years, CCOHS has been committed to its vision to eliminate workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths.
The long range vision for CCOHS is centered around a growth strategy that is focused on extending reach and impact of the Centre’s work on workplaces and workers in Canada. Getting there means optimizing market channels to disseminate our health and safety and prevention messages in the workplace, and extending our reach to influencers and decision makers who can serve as agents of change. It means building partnerships and leveraging opportunities in work sectors that would benefit from our assistance. This past year CCOHS took steps to initiate these long range strategic goals.
CCOHS continued to be at the forefront of occupational health and safety including the emerging issue of mental health - an important aspect of worker health and well-being with high costs in human, social and economic terms. To support mental health in the workplace, CCOHS adopted the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace and developed new educational e-courses and awareness tools. In addition, the Centre made Guarding Minds at Work, a workplace guide to psychological health and safety, publicly available on its mental health web portal.
Furthermore, CCOHS strengthened its partnerships and collaborated with organizations to advance its mandate and improve its impact. For example, CCOHS worked with Health Canada and the Prevention Committee of the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Legislation (CAALL-OSH) in order to help prepare workplaces for the upcoming changes to Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) requirements. CCOHS was a key partner in the successful It's Your Job! video contest. The contest raised awareness of occupational health and safety among Canadian youth.
CCOHS continued to support the future of occupational health and safety by awarding two $3,000 prizes through its Dick Martin Scholarship Awards. The scholarship program strives to help support winning students in their pursuit of higher education, in the hopes that they will become future leaders in the field of occupational health and safety.
I look forward to continuing to work with CCOHS to advance our shared goal of ensuring that all Canadians are safe and healthy at work.

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) has an overarching vision to effect a positive change in the prevention of occupational injuries and illnesses across Canada. Each year we further extend the reach of our message of prevention that ultimately impacts millions of people in the workplace.
This past year, we set out to reinforce CCOHS as a leader in promoting the advancement of occupational health and safety in Canada, and meet the needs of the changing workplace. Our objectives included expanding our outreach, user population and impact on Canadian workplaces; providing accessible information, education and tools to advance the well-being of workers; and cultivating and strengthening stakeholder relations.
On whole, we met our goals and in many areas, exceeded them. We experienced exponential growth in traffic to our website, in the number of users of our free public services and communication channels (OSH Answers facts sheets, newsletters, webinars, etc.), and in our social media audience and engagement. We incorporated topics on emerging issues such as mental health and GHS into - and expanded - our product and service offerings. We added new courses, software tools and a smartphone app resulting in increased related revenues and user uptake.
Our success to date has strengthened our resolve to cultivate alliances with our provincial, industry sector and labour partners to champion the integration of a prevention culture into the standard business practices of every workplace. For it is only with a shared commitment to a holistic approach to safety, health and well-being of all employees, that a sustainable and healthy workforce can be achieved.
Internally, CCOHS is preparing for success. Along with major systems upgrades, we have spent this year consulting widely and deeply with all our stakeholders about their ideas of the future of occupational health and safety in Canada and our role as an agent of change in a national forum. This valuable input provided the foundation and the framework for a refreshed strategic plan that is purposeful and responsive and that will serve as our roadmap as we move into a new era of opportunities for CCOHS.
I am proud of our accomplishments this year, which could not have been achieved without strong support from our Chair, Kin Choi, and Council of Governors. They have provided insight and leadership, and as advocates of CCOHS, have promoted our values and enhanced our credibility on the national stage.
As we aspire to greater goals and evolve to meet the challenges ahead, I'd like to thank the Council and our CCOHS family for making the Centre a success; I sincerely appreciate everyone's commitment, efforts and valued contributions.

Enabling Instrument(s): Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Act
Year of Incorporation / Commencement: 1978
The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety was founded by an Act of Parliament in 1978 with a mandate to promote health and safety in the workplace and to enhance the physical and mental health of working people.
The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) operates under the legislative authority of the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Act S.C., 1977-78, c. 29 which was passed by unanimous vote in the Canadian Parliament. The purpose of this Act is to promote the fundamental right of Canadians to a healthy and safe working environment by creating a national institute (CCOHS) concerned with the study, encouragement and co-operative advancement of occupational health and safety.
CCOHS is Canada’s national occupational health and safety resource which is dedicated to the advancement of occupational health and safety performance by providing necessary services including information and knowledge transfer; training and education; cost-effective tools for improving occupational health and safety performance; management systems services supporting health and safety programs; injury and illness prevention initiatives and promoting the total well-being – physical, psychosocial and mental health - of working people. The Centre was created to provide a common focus for, and coordination of, information in the area of occupational health and safety.
CCOHS functions as a departmental corporation under Schedule II of the Financial Administration Act and is accountable to Parliament through the Minister of Labour. Its funding is derived from a combination of appropriations, cost recoveries and collaboration with the provinces. It is expected that 50% of the budget will be funded through cost recoveries from the creation, production, and worldwide sales of fee-for-service and revenue generating occupational health and safety products and services.
CCOHS is a recognized leader in providing effective programs, products and services, which are based on the centre’s core knowledge, its collection of occupational health and safety information, and its application of information management technologies.
CCOHS is governed by a tripartite council representing governments (federal, provincial and territorial), employers, and labour organizations. The Council of Governors assists in overseeing a policy framework for a trustworthy and complete occupational health and safety service, and ensures that the information CCOHS disseminates is unbiased. Our key stakeholders are directly involved in the policy, governance and strategic planning for the organization. They also assist with reviews of programs and services to help ensure that our information is impartial and relevant. Our Inquiries Service is supported and funded from contributions provided by provincial and territorial governments.
CCOHS has a broad range of collaborative arrangements with many national and international health and safety organizations. These include the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Pan- American Health Organization (PAHO) the World Health Organization (WHO), North American Occupational Safety and Health Week (NAOSH), European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, and Health Canada. Further information on the many partnerships is available at http://www.ccohs.ca/ccohs/partner.html and in our Annual Report.
Collaborative projects serve many purposes at CCOHS. They are opportunities to enhance our occupational health and safety information resources, generate revenues and collaborate with partners worldwide. This collaboration among nations serves to promote the sharing of information and knowledge for social and economic programs relating to health and safety, to reduce injuries and illness, and improve conditions for workers. They also contribute to Canada’s role in the world and bring the wealth of global occupational health and safety information for use by CCOHS to benefit Canada and to improve the health and safety of Canadians.

Mental health in the workplace has a significant impact on safety. Making people aware of mental health issues at work can have a profound impact on employee wellbeing. Having an open work environment where mental health can be discussed and the employee supported will improve the work place. This promotes a holistic approach to work place well-being. CCOHS has a dual role in supporting the initiatives of mental health in the workplace, both in our own organization and externally to support Canadian workplaces and workers. Internally, we are in the process of adopting and implementing the new CSA National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace (the Standard) and are involved with the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s case study project. This also helps strengthen the Psychosocial Quadrant of our Comprehensive Workplace Health and Safety Program. Externally, we have promoted mental health in the workplace by providing credible tools and resources for employers and workers through our “Healthy Minds at Work” web portal. We have partnered with CARMHA to host and support the Guarding Minds at Work program to make it more widely available, and created various awareness e-courses and tools to support Canadian workplaces. Further, we have helped to promote a positive mental health strategy through speaking engagements across the country and by utilizing social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook. All of these activities help meet our mandate to be a trustworthy and credible resource. |

GHS stands for the "Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals". GHS is a system that defines and classifies the hazards of chemical products, and communicates health and safety information on labels and material safety data sheets (called Safety Data Sheets, or SDSs, in GHS). CCOHS promoted awareness of the new system through multiple courses, webinars, posters, publications and our website to ensure the public has all the information and tools necessary to make the change. The GHS Pictogram poster was among our most downloaded posters this year. We have also started to develop a new WHMIS After GHS Toolkit in order to better prepare Canadians for GHS in their workplace. |

The technical infrastructure is the cornerstone of delivery of a broad range of CCOHS products and services to the public. This is a complex system that requires monitoring in light of the ever changing technology in today’s environment. CCOHS reviewed the existing infrastructure and developed a detailed plan for the replacement of strategic information technology assets. We met our goal to comply with the government standards on the Windows 7 platform and we replaced a number of out-dated servers to better support our services to Canadians. A new telephone system was selected and implemented in Q1 2014-15 in order to ensure that we can continue to provide our popular Inquiries service as a free service to without interruptions. |

| Risk | Risk Response Strategy | Link to Program Alignment Architecture |
|---|---|---|
| Operating deficit due to the reliance on funding from partners | CCOHS keeps regular contact with all partners. CCOHS is increasing its focus on cost recoveries in order to continue to provide all of its services to Canadians. | SO1 |
| Technology changes are impacting the way in which we must deliver our products | CCOHS has discontinued the sale of CD based products and expanded its Internet based products and information channels. | SO1 |
CCOHS relies heavily on cost recovery programs and contributions from partners to supplement its parliamentary appropriations and cover fixed costs. The CCOHS funding model is based upon 50% of our operating budget being generated through cost recovery and our products and services must be continually updated to be marketable. Changes to our partners’ funding can have a direct impact on our revenues and our ability to deliver our products and services to Canadians.
CCOHS is proactively managing this risk by improving its cost recovery program. The program focuses on three main elements. First, we are rationalizing the product inventory to improve focus on the products that our stakeholders demand. Next, we are reviewing the pricing and marketing models for those products to ensure that we are reaching more Canadian workplaces and receiving fair market value for our products. Finally, we are reviewing and revising the commercial agreements with our suppliers in order to help reduce the cost of the operation.
The organization also faces the risk that technological advances have rendered traditional delivery methods for its content unsustainable and outdated. CCOHS has responded by expanding its on-line resources to include more specialized web portals, e-learning programs, webinars, podcasts, Facebook and Twitter promotion and on-line discussion groups. These new channels are key to supporting our priority to expand our reach and impact more Canadians on a daily basis. CCOHS is investing in the technology required to support these new communication channels and is challenged to do so with a very limited operating budget.

Planned spending represents the total amount authorized through the main estimates process. Authorities represent the total amounts authorized for the entire year, including the main estimates. The increase in total authorities is due to additional funding received for compensation items for severances, maternity and parental leave, and amounts paid on separation. Funding was also received for carry forward amounts from the prior year.

For the years 2011-12 through 2013-14 the total spending includes all Parliamentary appropriations and revenue sources: Main Estimates, Supplementary Estimates, Treasury Board Vote 10, 15, 23, 25 and 30 as well as respendable revenues. It also includes carry forwards and adjustments. For the 2014-15 to 2016-17 periods, the total spending corresponds to the planned spending factoring in projected respendable revenues. Vote 15 transfers were high during fiscal 2012-13 due to the discontinuation of severance benefits and disbursements for this program.

Over 1.7 million Canadians served with CCOHS' OSH Answers fact sheets (a free service) which represents a 21.4% increase. |
| Application of occupational health and safety information in the workplace. | 72% of clients who use information provided to make change in the work place | 71.8% of Health and Safety Report readers use the information in the Report to make current or planned changes in their workplace that might improve occupational health and safety. 74% of Liaison readers use information from the newsletter to affect change in their workplace. 59% of users of CCOHS' free Inquiries service indicated their use of information will lead to current or future changes to the workplace. |
| Evaluation ratings | Positive satisfaction rates for above targets and key informant interviews. Overall meeting objectives of the mandate. |
The goal of this program is to provide free information on occupational health and safety to support Canadians in their efforts to improve workplace safety and health. Citizens are provided information through a free and impartial personalized service via telephone, e-mail, person-to-person, fax or mail. Alternatively, they can independently access a broad range of electronic and print resources developed to support safety and health information needs of Canadians. This may include cost recovery products and services and is supported financially by contributions from various stakeholders.
Through health and safety information development, CCOHS collects, processes, analyzes, evaluates, creates and publishes authoritative information resources on occupational health and safety for the benefit of all working Canadians. This information is used for education and training, research, policy development, development of best practices, improvement of health and safety programs, achieving compliance, and for personal use. When the product or service provided by CCOHS is too identifiable external recipients with benefits beyond those enjoyed by the general taxpayer, a user fee is charged.
CCOHS promotes and facilitates consultation and cooperation among federal, provincial and territorial jurisdictions and participation by labour, management and other stakeholders in the establishment and maintenance of high standards and occupational health and safety initiatives for the Canadian context. The sharing of resources results in the coordinated and mutually beneficial development of unique programs, products and services. Collaborative projects are usually supported with a combination of financial and non- financial contributions to the programs by partners and stakeholders and result in advancement of the health and safety initiatives.

In order to achieve these results, CCOHS executed the following activities:
Clients want information on demand and in many different formats to meet their needs. Through continual client feedback through our performance management systems, CCOHS is able to address needs and identify trends quickly. Our feedback identifies emerging issues that are relevant for Canadian workplaces, and CCOHS has identified free and paid services to support future health, safety and wellness needs. Recent examples include mental health, workplace wellness and changes to WHMIS due to the implementation of the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Emerging issues drive development of new webinars, e-learning, OSH Answers, web portals, apps, podcasts and articles for our health and safety report.
We have learned that traditional database services are not in demand, but that clients expect to find resources instantly through web-based, App-based and social-media resources. When there are changes in legislation, current events and best practices we need to respond quickly. In order to expand our reach we need to adopt new technologies quickly. It is also critical to keep our employees engaged since improved engagement leads to improved employee health, workplace health and wellness.
Internal Services are groups of related activities and resources that are administered to support the needs of programs and other corporate obligations of an organization. These groups are: Management and Oversight Services; Communications Services; Legal Services; Human Resources Management Services; Financial Management Services; Information Management Services; Information Technology Services; Real Property Services; Materiel Services; Acquisition Services; and Other Administrative Services. Internal Services include only those activities and resources that apply across an organization and not to those provided specifically to a program.

The focus for Internal Services continues to be to support the occupational health and safety information development, delivery services and tripartite collaboration program, with a focus on two areas: employee engagement and systems infrastructure.
The employee engagement survey yielded a list of important initiatives that are being implemented in order to increase current and future employee engagement as well as ensure a solid knowledge transfer as a significant portion of our staff approach retirement. We are planning a second survey in the coming year to help quantify some of the gains that are being achieved.
Significant investments have been made in order to refresh the CCOHS systems infrastructure in order to better support the organization's ability to deliver its products and services. Many of the servers have been updated and an investment into a new telephone system was made in order to ensure the continuity of our popular Inquiries Service. Further investments are planned in the coming year in order to complete the technology refresh and allow CCOHS to continue to reach Canadians through all available platforms.

Condensed statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position
Employment costs are the largest component of CCOHS’ cost structure. Employment costs increased by an anticipated 2% in the year, accounting for most of the year over year variance on the expense side. CCOHS also incurred additional expenses for professional services in the year, in support of the new strategic planning process. The Centre also took a charge of $47K related to the disposal of some outdated capital assets.
Condensed Statement of Financial Position
The increase in net liabilities is primarily driven by the increase in deferred revenues ($266K) from the sale of web delivered subscription products as their popularity continues to increase. The Centre has also seen a decline in employee related ($132K) liabilities as many of its long-tenured employees continue to retire.
