Occupational Surveillance in Canada: Cause-Specific Mortality Among Workers, 1965-1991 (Aronson KJ, Howe GR, Carpenter M, Fair ME) (Catalogue No. 84-546-XCB; $500)

Statistics Canada has released an easy-to-use bilingual CD-ROM entitled Occupational Surveillance in Canada: Cause-Specific Mortality Among Workers, 1965-1991. This product describes the impact of 670 different occupations on 70 different causes of death for women and men from a 27 year follow-up of 700,000 workers (approximately 10% of the labour force between 1965 and 1971).

This valuable tool provides the information you need to:

• detect previously unsuspected potential associations between occupation and death;
• target areas for future studies on occupational mortality risks among women and men;
• adjust employment conditions to protect employees from potential danger; and
• carry out a wide variety of research projects.

The data can be reviewed and used in prepared tables (in EXCEL) or can be manipulated from an ASCII file into the spreadsheet of your choice.
