Course description

Safety committees play a crucial role in identification and management of different workplace hazards. This workshop helps you to broaden your understanding of all types of hazards, including psychosocial and organizational hazards, which are not always easy to recognize. Participants have an opportunity to learn about bringing a comprehensive view of hazards to your committees using the Total Worker Health® (TWH) approach. This approach has been widely recognized and successfully implemented in workplaces across industries. Participants are able to relate how current safety committees’ activities might relate (or not) to the TWH approach and discuss some of specific employee engagement and supportive supervision solutions to advance health, safety, and well-being at work more effectively.
