Tracking Occupational Exposure and Disease
Effective systems for monitoring occupational diseases would be of considerable assistance to Canadian Workers’ Compensation Boards (WCBs) as well as to other policy makers and stakeholders involved with occupational health. Canadian decision makers have recently shown interest in the use of registries in monitoring occupational exposure and disease. This project focused on a review of operating exposure registries, including key considerations in the planning of new registries, and comparisons of registries with other approaches for exposure and disease tracking.
