Measuring occupational health and safety vulnerability in Alberta

Description

In this report, a conceptual framework of occupational health and safety vulnerability is applied to a sample of Alberta workers, and then compared with similar samples from Ontario and British Columbia. The vulnerability tool: captures information about workplace hazard exposures; measures the presence (or absence) of workplace resources that protect workers against injury; and provides an understanding of how workplace hazards and a lack of protections contribute to an individual worker’s risk of injury.
