YOUR MONEY AND YOUR LIFE: WORKERS' HEALTH IN CANADA

Abstract

MANY MORE CANADIANS DIE YEARLY FROM VIOLENT DEATHS DUE TO CANCER, AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS, HEART DISEASE, SUICIDE, AND OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES THAN FROM MURDER AND MANSLAUGHTER, BUT WE TEND TO FOCUS UPON THE LATTER CATEGORIES. OF COURSE, HOMICIDE HAS A READILY IDENTIFICABLE VICTIM AND OFFENDER AND IS INCLUDED UNDER THE CRIMINAL CODE. WE ALSO HAVE CRIMINAL STATUTES CONCERNING AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS AND SUICIDE, BUT NOT CONCERNING OCCUPATIONAL DEATH.
