Occupational health and safety practices survey

In brief

  • We surveyed long-term care homes about their occupational health and safety practices in order to understand how a care home’s health, safety and disability practices are related to occupational injuries and illness.
  • We also recruited firms in the BC food processing and manufacturing sector to participate in order to understand their health and safety practices and occupational injury/illness experience.
  • We compared performance on the survey with retrospective and current injury claim rates in the two industry sectors.
  • This project was funded by WorkSafeBC and FIOSA-MIOSA Safety Alliance of BC, the health and safety association for manufacturers and food processors, and has the full endorsement of SafeCare BC, the health and safety association for private long-term care homes.
