This simple and practical tool provides companies with a means of verifying the content of a lockout program. It is neither a writing guide, nor a guide for implementing such a program. When it is used, it is important to consider all of the major themes that are presented in it and to carry out a procedure based on the company’s reality in order to determine whether the points presented are adapted to the context. Risk assessment is a means of achieving this.

This study documented the practices relating to occupational health and safety (OHS) under a variety of conditions under which insulation work is done, and evaluated the MDI concentrations in the work areas. The workers run a risk of exposure to MDI in aerosol form, particularly when they do this work indoors. The report's authors note that nothing indicates that OHS practices are completely respected on Québec construction sites and recommend that the subject of respiratory and skin protection be integrated into the continuing training of workers.

The results of this exploratory study clearly made it possible to identify various scenarios for the differences that can occur between a clinician and a worker involved in occupational rehabilitation. The benefit of this type of clinical research is that it moves closer to the therapeutic reality of disability prevention, and thus takes into account factors that may affect the clinician/patient relationship, such as the administrative constraints inherent to this field. This study has implications for both research and clinical practice.
