Issue:
The proposed methodology combines the Contextualized Health Research Synthesis (CHRSP) developed by Memorial University, Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Research, with systematic review techniques pioneered by the Institute for Work and Health. The knowledge synthesis of the selected occupational health and safety topics would provide evidence for the WCB’s policy decisions and the office of the Chief Occupational Medical Officer for the province.
Objectives:
This project seeks to blend two established methodologies from the Institute for Work and Health and Memorial University to produce a tool that could be used by occupational health and safety stakeholders and the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba.
Anticipated Results:
The study would generate scientifically rigorous syntheses of existing knowledge on causation, prevention, and treatment of occupational injuries and diseases customized to the province’s industries, workplaces, and workers compensation system.
