Occupational injuries

The dataset shows claims for occupational injuries registered in one calendar year and admitted no later than March 1 of the following year.

Occupational injuries are recorded in CNESST systems following the receipt of claims.

These claims represent workers who were covered by the occupational health and safety insurance plan for which the CNESST is responsible.

The Law on Industrial Accidents and Occupational Diseases (LATMP) aims to compensate for occupational injuries and the consequences they cause for beneficiaries.
