Research
At the WSIB, research is critical to improving our efforts to prevent, treat, and compensate workplace injury and illness, and return workers to sustainable productive work.

The WSIB currently funds these major research initiatives:
The Research Advisory Council
The WSIB Research Advisory Council (RAC) is an independent, multi-stakeholder council that oversees the WSIB’s research grants program such as Solutions for Workplace Change and Bridging the Gap, as well as the Centres of Research Expertise.
The Institute for Work & Health
Established in 1990 by the WSIB, the Institute for Work & Health (IWH) is an independent, not-for-profit research organization with the goal of finding ways to prevent workplace disability, improve treatment, and encourage return to work.
Relevant Research Studies
We also conduct research or find third-party studies relevant to the prevention, treatment, compensation and our approach to the case management of workplace injury or illness.
