5,000-firms study: Benchmarking leading indicators for injury prevention

The goals of this study are:

• to survey between 4,500 and 5,000 Ontario firms on various organizational measures considered important predictors of injury, illness and workers' compensation claim rates, including measures of organizational policies and practices, safety culture, OHS management systems and employee relations/joint health and safety committee functioning
• to link these findings to the firms’ past five years of work-related injury and illness claims and one year of claims going forward
• to use this information to identify which leading organizational indicators are relevant and can be used by the OHS community.
