Two-day workshop on Understanding Mental Health Injuries at Work, Violence Prevention, and Identifying and Documenting Hazards.

HS - Identifying and Documenting Hazards
October 25 (9:00am) - 26, 2018 (12:00pm) (15 spaces available)

In this module, you will learn techniques for identifying hazards, such as body maps, surveys and inspections. You will also develop a methodology for dealing with the hazards you find.

HS - Understanding Mental Injuries at Work
October 25 (9:00am) - 26, 2018 (12:00pm) (15 spaces available)

New forms of work, job insecurity, work intensification, high demands, violence and a resulting poor work-life balance are resulting in psychosocial and mental health problems in CUPE workplaces. This module focuses on the workplace as the cause of mental health issues, and not the individual. Discuss strategies and actions that actually help make workplaces psychologically healthier and safer.

HS - Violence Prevention
October 25 (9:00am) - 26, 2018 (12:00pm) (15 spaces available)

This module examines the risk factors that lead to violence in the workplace, and the employer’s obligations to prevent workers from being exposed to and injured by violence while at work. We examine relevant health and safety law, and start to develop strategies to make our workplaces safer.

Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches. Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings. Thank you for your cooperation.
