title: How dangerous is work in Canada? Estimates of job-related fatalities in 482 occupations.
abstract: Data have been gathered from Labour Canada and the Quebec Workers' Compensation Board to examine estimates of mortality in 482 Canadian occupations. These data contain information on job-related fatalities within four-digit occupations for 1980, 1981, 1985, and 1986. Compared with comparable data from the United States, the estimates indicate that the incidence of job-related fatalities is significantly higher in Canada.
