examine the relationship between WSIB claims rates and organizational and management measures
build a benchmarking knowledge base, to develop evidence-based measurement tools, products and services to further support Ontario workplaces in improving their occupational health and safety

3. How and why is this research being conducted?
After agreeing to participate, firms will be asked to fill out a 20-minute web-based questionnaire, with questions about their safety climate, health & safety management systems, joint health and safety committees, and organizational policies and practices. All data collected will be kept strictly confidential.
Through this research study, we have an opportunity to learn more about which leading indicators, or set of leading indicators, are predictive of future injuries and illnesses. It’s exciting to be involved in work that will fill this critical knowledge gap.
To make this research project a success, it is essential that workplaces see the value in participating and helping to build a benchmarking knowledge database that contains indicators relevant to workplaces and can be used by all sectors across Ontario.
