Newly updated eWORK now available

eWORK is an interactive tool for exploring CAREX Canada’s occupational exposure estimates to carcinogens.

Featured Resources

eWORK is a set of tools developed by our occupational exposures team that allow users to conduct custom queries of the CAREX results database. Two versions of eWORK are available: eWORK Excel and eWORK Online.

CAREX Canada’s exposure summaries are a useful guide for those looking to better understand – and reduce or eliminate – the known or suspected carcinogens that Canadians are exposed to in workplace and community environments.
