AB  - One in every 13 Canadian workers has experienced a work-related illness or injury, federal data indicate. Occupational-health clinics in Ontario report a growing number of cases of sick-building syndrome, repetitive-strain injury, asthma and chemical exposure, as well as injuries related to the use of construction equipment. In the past the medical profession assumed that men incurred most work-related injuries, but today, says an occupational-health specialist, "work-related illness and injuries are just as likely to happen to women or to white-collar professionals."
