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 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). Attendees are able to relate how current workplace programs and policies might fit (or not) into the TWH approach and how this comprehensive approach can be used by safety committees to advance health, safety and well-being at work more effectively.
