Burden of heat-related illness among migrant and temporary foreign agricultural workers (MTFAWs)

Share

Summary

Workers’ compensation statistics on heat related episodes do not include migration status, and most health data does not include it. We understand a new linkage between IRCC and ICES data may make this possible to help us answer the question, ‘what is the burden of heat-related illness among Migrant and Temporary Foreign Agricultural Workers (MTFAWs)?’
