Tabitha,

I am not aware of anything specific, but am going to forward to our
smoking cessation contact here and see if she has anything to suggest.
You might be able to get some information through the provincial WCB or
Occupational Health and Safety, but don't know if there's any way to
track that.  The latest CCHS does show in our region (Palliser, far SE
corner of AB) has had a decrease in the number of workplaces that
totally restrict smoking but we can't track oilfield through CCHS.  Our
businesses here are more oilfield support, but also direct drilling -
nothing like the scale up north, though.

Anyone else in AB or other oil areas?

Subject: Smoking rates and oilfield workers

Hi. I am looking for any information (surveys, needs assessment)that has

addressed tobacco use among oilfield workers (particularly in Alberta).
I 
would be interested in reports/publications/research that examines
smoking 
rates among oilfield workers and/or smoking cessation programs for their

unique workplace. I am hoping to use this as a topic for my final
capping 
exercise and would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
