HS - Ergonomics
Mar 27, 2024 (1:00pm-4:00pm (Saskatchewan)) (4 spaces available)
This module looks at the musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace, such as strains or carpal tunnel syndrome, the risk factors, and the employers’ obligations to prevent these types of injuries. NOTE: Please bring your binder and Health and Safety Committee Resource Kit.
HS - Workload and Overwork
Mar 28, 2024 (9:00am-12:00pm (Saskatchewan)) (3 spaces available)
As employers pull back resources, they expect workers to do more with less. This module will examine workload, the cause and effects of overwork, and strategies to overcome the ever increasing workload that is damaging not just our health at work, but the relationship we have outside of work. NOTE: Please bring your binder and Health and Safety Committee Resource Kit.

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. NOTE: Please bring your binder and Health and Safety Committee Resource Kit.
