Finding Patterns of Illness and Injury- Questions to Ask When

Screening for Occupational Disease

While a simple set of questions does not exist for screening all occupational diseases, OHCOW has had experience using simple screening tools for specific occupational diseases (e.g. asthma, hearing loss, vibration white finger, chronic bronchitis, and neuro-psychological symptoms).

OHCOW Hamilton presented “Finding Patterns of Illness and Injury” at a CAW Compensation training session. View presentation
