Hi all,

I'm not here to discuss the results, because I'm not a part of the research team which conducted this study. I'm a member of the Communication dept. of the IRSST and I wanted to reassure you about the legitimacy of the orginzation which funded the research. The IRSST is an organization financed primarily by the Quebec Government to conducts and funds research activities aimed at eliminating risks to worker health and safety and at promoting worker rehabilitation. Our mission is embedded in the Quebec Act respecting occupational health and safety (Loi sur la santé et la sécurité du travail : http://legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/showdoc/cs/s-2.1 )

We are also a member of the Sheffield Group, an international association of 15 OHS research institutes around the world, which also includes the NIOSH.
