“…Another approach would be to examine the conditions under which losses and gains are more (or less) likely to impact occupational stress and safety. As a starting point this research could begin by adapting Warr's (1994) model relating age to job performance to the study of occupational stress and safety (Laflamme & Menckel, 1995). In this model predictions about the impact of gains and losses associated with aging depend on the type of task performed on the job.…”

“…The relationship between age and risk of injury may also differ by the nature of injury 2,10) . While younger age has been associated with a higher risk of all-cause work injury, a recent systematic review concluded that older age is associated with an elevated risk of musculoskeletal disorders 11) .…”

“…A previous study in Ontario found higher rates of sprains and strains among workers 25 and older compared with those less than 25, whereas workers less than 25 had higher rates of cuts and open wounds 10) . It is important to recognize that age differences in the nature of work-related injury may also arise from differences in occupational hazards experienced by older and younger workers 2) . The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between age and the incidence rate of losttime compensation claims in the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC) over three time periods (1997−98, 2001−02 and 2005−06).…”

The Relationship between Age and Work Injury in British Columbia: Examining Differences across Time and Nature of Injury: Peter SMITH, et al. Institute for Work and Health, Canada— Objective The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between age and the lost‐time workers' compensation claims in British Columbia, Canada, over three time periods (1997−98, 2001−02 and 2005−06). We examined if the relationship between age and risk of lost‐time claims is consistent over time and for different nature of injury categories. Methods Secondary analyses of lost‐time workers' compensation claims combined with estimates of person‐years of exposure generated from the Canadian Labour Force Survey were performed. Analyses examined the relationship between age and claim risk using sex‐stratified regression models, adjusting for time period, occupational characteristics and whether the claimant was employed in the goods or service industry. Multiplicative interaction terms were used to examine if the relationship between age and lost‐time claim risk changed over time. Seven separate regression models were generated to explore the variation in the effect of age across nature of injury groups. Results We observed important differences in the relationship between age and risk of injury depending on the nature of injury examined. A negative relationship was observed between age and lost‐time claims for open wounds, while a positive relationship was observed for traumatic injuries to bones, nerves and the spinal cord. We found no evidence that the relationship between age and risk of lost‐time claims changed over time periods. Conclusions The association between age and risk of lost‐time claims depends on the nature of injury under investigation. We found no evidence that the relationship between age and overall lost‐time claim risk has changed over time in British Columbia.
