| Popis: | Compensation data from workers’ compensation boards are very useful for orienting occupational health and safety (OHS) prevention and research. This study examines the impact of compensation data maturity on OHS indicators. Specifically, administrative data from the Quebec workers’ compensation board (CNESST) relating to 117,990 occupational injuries that occurred in Quebec in 2006 are used to produce various OHS indicators. The indicators are produced using data with three years’ maturity and then recalculated for each additional six-month data period up to nine years’ maturity. It is shown that extending the data period has a significant impact on some OHS indicators but little impact on rank within the target industries. Besides shedding new light on the impact of the maturity of the data used, the study identifies the types of injury whose consequences are the most underestimated when a short data maturity is used. The results presented in the study may be useful to many users of occupational injury compensation data. |
