Description
To the Editor,
The above-mentioned article was recently published in Safety and Health at Work [1], with the aim of describing a model to address of healthy worker survivor effect (HWSE) bias. This is a difficult task, as many critical occupational parameters are either not available, or have drastically changed to the point that certain data should be excluded because it no longer represents modern workplaces. In order to fully validate this model and apply it to more recent data, it becomes necessary to request author clarification for a number of key points related to study design, data transparency, and overall assumptions. If left unaddressed, it is impossible to standardize the methodology and apply to other substances, or to repeat with accuracy. Summarized below are selected examples to demonstrate ambiguity and concerns, with further detail provided in four accompanying Attachments.
