The late Katherine Lippel, LLL, LLM, FRSC, was a full professor of law at the Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa and Distinguished Research Chair in Occupational Health and Safety Law. Her research focused on legal issues relating to occupational health and safety, workers' compensation, and return to work after work injury and included, in particular, an interest in health effects of compensation systems, regulatory challenges related to precarious employment and globalisation, and health and safety issues related to gender. She was the Project Director for the Policy and Practice and Return to Work, SSHRC/CIHR-funded Partnership at the University of Ottawa and co-investigator and lead for the policy component of the SSHRC-funded On the Move Partnership prior to her untimely passing in 2021. These research programmes funded this book which could not have been written without the resulting research. The book also draws on the insights Katherine gained from decades of dedicated engagement in not only documenting but also reducing threats to the occupational health of workers in Canada and globally and improving their access to compensation. Barbara Neis, Ph.D., FRSC, C.M., is Professor Emerita and John Lewis Paton Distinguished Professor in the Department of Sociology at Memorial University. Between 2012 and 2023, Professor Neis was the Project Director for the On the Move Partnership, a multi-million dollar pan-Canadian program of research funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council with contributions from multiple universities and community partners. On the Move researchers and their partners explored the dynamics of extended/complex employment-related geographical mobility, including how diverse kinds of mobility might influence workplace and family dynamics, including their impact on occupational health. Work done by On the Move researchers inspired and deeply informs this book. Maxine Visotzky-Charlebois is a lawyer and professor of labour law at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her doctoral research focuses on the role of trade unions in the implementation of Quebec's occupational health and safety framework. She is a recipient of the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship. Maxine Visotzky-Charlebois is also a member of the Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT) and has collaborated on the Policy and Practice in Return to Work Partnership project led by the late Professor Katherine Lippel. Her research interests centre on the effectiveness of labour legislation and issues related to access to justice. Dalia Gesualdi-Fecteau is a full professor at the School of Industrial Relations at the Université de Montréal (Canada) and director of the Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT). Her research documents the extent to which labour law succeeds in redressing inequalities. Her recent publications touch on the reality of precarious workers. Dalia Gesualdi-Fecteau was part of the On the Move Partnership as a co-investigator. She has served on the Expert Panel on Modern Federal Labour Standards (2019) and the Expert Panel on Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault in the Workplace (2023). She has conducted extensive fieldwork and most of her research is carried out in conjunction with world-of-work actors.
