The Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) has launched a survey to document and analyze the experiences of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey, open to all workers across Canada and available in English and French, aims to measure different aspects of job-related psychosocial conditions, along with symptoms related to stressful conditions and mood disorders. It builds on the success of an earlier survey of health-care workers’ experiences during the pandemic.

It will help identify patterns and provide insight for future stress and harm prevention.
