TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Occupational injuries, illness affect 1 in 13 Canadians JO - CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association journal A1 - Martin, M. SP - 1782 EP - 1783 VL - 153 IS - 12 N2 - One in every 13 Canadian workers has experienced a work-related illness or injury, federal data indicate. Occupational-health clinics in Ontario report a growing number of cases of sick-building syndrome, repetitive-strain injury, asthma and chemical exposure, as well as injuries related to the use of construction equipment. In the past the medical profession assumed that men incurred most work-related injuries, but today, says an occupational-health specialist, "work-related illness and injuries are just as likely to happen to women or to white-collar professionals."
