Themes were synthesized into suggestions for healthcare organizations to prepare for future crises. Formal and informal peer support, workplace mental health supports, and one-on-one counseling were most often mentioned as valued. Analysis suggested that workplace social networks as a source of support and mental health supports would have been appreciated. HCWs perceived that a lack of tangible workplace supports, such as staffing, compensation, and time off, were barriers to well-being.

These non-standard occupations tend to be hazardous with high injury rates. They are associated with varying levels of seasonality, shift work, geographic mobility, and different types of remuneration, posing unique challenges when recovering from work-related injury and illness. Occupational health and safety is under-researched in these sectors. Furthermore, little research exists on return to work (RTW) after injury among maritime workers. This paper presents findings from a mixed methods research program designed to provide insight into injury, compensation and RTW experiences among maritime workers in the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC). Research methods include the analysis of provincial workers' compensation data, data from an anonymous online survey of injured/ill BC maritime workers and from semi-structured interviews with injured workers and key informants. Analysis of workers' compensation data shows high rates of serious injuries, longer disability duration, and high rates of deemed RTW, particularly in fishing. Survey findings suggest a relatively low percentage of workers file claims for workers' compensation to WorkSafeBC. Interview data highlight some of the challenges that may explain under-reporting, longer disability duration, and relatively poor RTW outcomes. Policy relevant concerns and areas for future research relevant to understanding and addressing some of the identified RTW challenges associated with these sectors are presented.</p>","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"10482911251316325"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143543770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seafaring work is associated with high injury rates, but seafarers' RTW is understudied. As federally regulated workers, Canadian seafarers are protected by the <i>Canadian Human Rights Act,</i> which prohibits discrimination based on disability. Following a work-related injury or illness, seafarers are eligible for provincial workers' compensation benefits and RTW; however, RTW is also subject to federal regulations, including the requirement to have a valid marine medical certificate (MMC). This complex regulatory landscape may negatively influence seafarer RTW. Drawing upon a sociolegal study, we find that MMC-related human rights complaints against the federal government highlight the legal challenges seafarers face in the RTW process. Interview findings suggest that to ensure a valid MMC and employment eligibility, injured seafarers might avoid filing compensation claims or RTW before recovery. We recommend the federal-provincial agencies adopt more efficient coordination policies to support seafarers' RTW.</p>","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"10482911251317583"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143504769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on interviews with injured migrant workers in two Canadian provinces (Quebec and Ontario), our research suggests that workers' RTW process is anything but straightforward.
