RPM Annual Statistical Reviews
All contractors in Manitoba are assigned to a WCB industry classification based on the type of work performed. Each classification is given a risk category — based on WCB claims cost trends — that is used in calculation of your WCB assessment rate. RPM Trucking Industry Safety has created annual summary reports, combining data for the rate codes levied to RPM. The summary will identify relevant data that will assist in improving the human and financial costs of a workplace injury.
For complete descriptions of the industry classifications below, please visit the WCB website: Industry Classifications
