- 2010-present a study of the measurement properties of organizational leading indicators of occupational health and safety in Ontario workplaces

- 2010-present a comparison of two cohorts of injured workers, one from 1993 and one from 2005, to identify whether changes in injured worker disability outcomes are most likely due to changing worker demographics, changes in injury severity, changes in workplace characeteristics or a change in workers' compensation policy
