Using Retrospective Exposure Profiles to Assist in Proving Cases of Occupational Diseases for Workers Compensation Claims

More than half of OHCOW’s work is dedicated to investigating and determining the work-relatedness of injuries and illnesses based on medical review, exposure history (and science) and epidemiology. Join us to learn how we apply in-depth research methods to characterize and estimate possible exposures from a work history so we can influence occupational disease recognition by finding evidence to support potential compensation claims, which can help those impacted now, and prevent such harm in the future.

Save the date! More information and registration coming soon.
