Discussion of Results

From your small dataset in Step 5 you need to present corrected results and discuss them.  Discuss the descriptive findings and also any associations of health outcomes with exposures.  In the latter case apply Bradford Hill criteria for causality and discuss the limitations of your study in terms of selection bias, information bias and confounding bias.  You are allowed to speculate somewhat on the meaning of your results.  Discuss the implementation of your findings and your recommendations for preventing injury and illness or to promote better occupational health at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
