This research partnership between WorkSafeBC (BC’s Workers’ Compensation Board) and CHSPR aims to address current and emerging issues of work-related health in British Columbia. The partnership has taken the lead in work-related health research by developing and promoting the use of routinely collected health and compensation data from multiple sources via our data partner, Population Data BC. The data allows us to conduct research on the entire working-age population over a 24 year period, providing a unique and comprehensive portrait of the health and well being of British Columbia’s workers. Partnership researchers are also active in developing and enhancing the occupational data holdings of Population Data BC.
