The effectiveness of regulatory inspections in reducing work injuries in Alberta

The Inspections Evaluation Analytical Dataset is an administrative dataset structured at the level of the employer-industry-year-month using a combination of data from employer and claim-level workers compensation data, and OHS regulatory enforcement activity. The underlying data were provided to the Partnership for Work, Health and Safety (PWHS) by the Alberta Workers Compensation Board (WCB) and the Government of Alberta for the purposes of conducting an evaluation of the effect of regulatory enforcement activities on firm-level injury rates.
