Abstract

Objectives: The burden of work injuries in Canada is a serious public health concern. Nearly one million Canadian workers experienced nonfatal injuries that led to time off work in 2005. New employees and recent immigrants are more likely to experience a work- related injury. The purpose of this study was to examine services, programs and resources available to newcomers to Canada that focus on employment standards (ES), occupational health & safety (OHS) and workers' compensation (WC). Methods: We reviewed resources available through community organizations, employers, settlement groups and unions, as well as provincial and federal prevention agencies and workers' compensation boards. The materials were categorized according to geographical distribution, content, resource type, audience and language. Results: We found a total of 224 resources that met our search criteria. The greatest numbers were found in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba. Most resources consisted of short factsheets on the topic of ES; WC was the focus of the fewest resources. The most comprehensive resources were teaching materials for ESL/FSL classes and Job Search Workshops. Most resources were specifically produced for newcomers but only available in French/English. Our scan uncovered no information for health care providers, union representatives or safety professionals working with immigrants. Very few resources were aimed at young immigrant workers or employers working with newcomers. Conclusions: Our research identifies gaps in the provision of health and safety resources for newcomers. Additional research is needed to evaluate the depth and quality of materials and to determine how decisions are made around the inclusion or exclusion of ES, OHS and WC information in language and labour market preparation programs for new immigrants. Key words: Employment; occupational health; Workers' Compensation; emigrants and immigrants Objectifs : Le fardeau des accidents du travail au Canada est un grave probleme de sante publique. Pres d'un million de travailleurs canadiens ont subi des blessures non mortelles qui ont necessite des absences du travail en 2005. Les nouveaux employes et les immigrants recents sont plus susceptibles de subir un accident du travail. Nous avons voulu examiner les services, les programmes et les ressources qui sont a la disposition des nouveaux arrivants au Canada et qui traitent des normes d'emploi (NE), de la sante et de la securite au travail (SST) et des accidents du travail (AT). Methode : Nous avons examine les ressources disponibles par le biais des organismes communautaires, des employeurs, des groupes d'aide a l'etablissement et des syndicats, ainsi que par les organismes de prevention et les commissions des accidents du travail au palier provincial et federal. Les documents ont ete tries selon la portee geographique, le contenu, le type de ressource, le public vise et la langue. Resultats : Nous avons repertorie 224 ressources correspondant a nos criteres de recherche. Les plus nombreuses etaient dans les provinces de l'Ontario, de la Colombie-Britannique et du Manitoba. La plupart des ressources etaient de breves fiches d'information sur les NE; les AT etaient l'aspect le moins souvent traite. Les ressources les plus completes etaient le materiel didactique pour les classes d'anglais ou de francais langue seconde et pour les ateliers de recherche d'emploi. La plupart des ressources s'adressaient specifiquement aux nouveaux arrivants, mais n'etaient disponibles qu'en francais ou en anglais. Nous n'avons repertorie aucune information pour les personnels soignants, les representants syndicaux ni les professionnels de la securite travaillant avec des immigrants. Tres peu de ressources s'adressaient aux jeunes travailleurs immigrants ou aux employeurs travaillant avec de nouveaux arrivants. Conclusion : Nous avons releve des lacunes dans l'offre de ressources en sante-securite pour les nouveaux arrivants. Il faudrait pousser la recherche afin d'evaluer le niveau de detail et la qualite des documents et de determiner comment se prennent les decisions d'inclure ou d'exclure l'information sur les NE, la SST et les AT dans les programmes de langue et de preparation au marche du travail destines aux nouveaux immigrants.

Abstract

To link to full-text access for this article, visit this link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2010.03.004 Byline: Shengli Niu Abstract: The ILO has a mandate to protect workers against sickness, diseases and injuries due to workplace hazards and risks including ergonomic and work organization risk factors. One of the main functions for the ILO is to develop international standards related to labour and work. ILO standards have exerted considerable influence on the laws and regulations of member States. The ILO standards take the form of international Conventions and Recommendations. ILO Conventions and Recommendations relevant to protection of workers against ergonomic risk factors at the workplace include Convention No. 127 and Recommendation No.128 which specify the international requirements concerning the manual transport of a load. To help member States in applying the ILO standards, the ILO produces practical guides and training manuals on ergonomics at work and collects and analyses national practices and laws on ergonomics at the workplace. The ILO also conducts technical cooperation activities in many countries on ergonomics to support and strengthen the capacities of its tripartite constituents in dealing with workplace ergonomic and work organization risks. The ILO's technical cooperation activities give priorities on the promotion of voluntary, participatory and action-oriented actions to improve working conditions and work organizations of the small and medium sized enterprises. This paper reviews ILO's policies and activities on ergonomics in relation to occupational safety and health and prescribes ILO's considerations for its future work on ergonomics.
