Abstract In this study, 20 sources of data in Canada, the United States and Europe that can be used to establish links between working conditions and safety and health impacts on workers were identified and examined. The results are presented in two documents. The first provides a summary of the working conditions addressed by the surveys. The second documents the sources of data and contains, for each, a descriptive fact sheet and a grid of the working conditions covered. The information is intended mainly for Québec occupational safety and health researchers and practitioners.
