The Institute for Work & Health (IWH) is an independent, not-for-profit research organization based in Toronto, Canada. Our goal is to protect and improve the health, safety and wellbeing of working people, and to promote their full and inclusive work participation, by providing and mobilizing high-quality, relevant research in two broad areas: work as a determinant of health, and health as a determinant of work.
Since 1990, the Institute for Work & Health has been conducting research and developing evidence-based products to inform those involved in protecting and improving the health, safety and wellbeing of workers and in promoting their full and inclusive work participation. Our multidisciplinary research examines the inter-relationships between work and health from worker, workplace and system perspectives. We also train and mentor the next generation of work and health researchers.
