  • 2010-present a study of different approaches to distributing occupational health and safety inspectorate resources in Ontario
  • 2010-present a comparison of two cohorts of injured workers, one from 1993 and one from 2005, to identify whether changes in injured worker disability outcomes are most likely due to changing worker demographics, changes in injury severity, changes in workplace characeteristics or a change in workers' compensation policy
  • 2012-present a study to compare occupational health & safety outcomes in construction sector companies that are unionized to those not unionized
  • 2012-present cross-jurisdictional comparisons of workers' compensation polices and outcomes to evaluate system level features and their contribution to outcomes
