Total Worker Health Awareness for Safety Committees

Safety committees play a crucial role in identifying and managing 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 can learn this from the perspective of a total worker health (TWH) approach, a concept coined and supported by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Participants also can relate how current workplace programs and policies might fit (or not) into the TWH approach and how safety committees can use this comprehensive approach to advance health, safety, and well-being at work more effectively.
