Our recent article on occupational health1 contains a minor error that arose during editing of the manuscript. The second paragraph, which read, “One recent online offering is from the Physician Education Project in Workplace Health of the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board …” should have read, “One recent online offering is a manual from the Physician Education Project in Workplace Health (PEPWH), Injury/Illness and Return to Work/Function: a Practical Guide for Physicians; this is available at the Web site of the Ontario Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (www.wsib.on.ca).”
The PEPWH Steering Committee comprises a wide range of stakeholders from government agencies and worker and employer organizations. It started as an initiative of the Ontario Medical Association's Section on Occupational and Environmental Medicine and the Institute for Work and Health. Although it receives financial support from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, PEPWH was not initiated by that board.
