  • Abstract
    The present research has developed prediction models in terms of workdays lost for manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries from Workers Compensation Board (WCB) of Ontario claims. Using these models, a Decision Support System was developed in terms of workdays lost for each industry. The system was designed to aid decision-makers to be more productive in reducing the RSI epidemic.
