2020 RSI DAY+ – "What is a Worker’s Life Worth?"
Presented in Partnership with the Sudbury Local Advisory Committee
February 28, 2020
RSI DAY
8:30 AM - 11:30 AM EST
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) refers to a category of injuries involving damage to muscles, tendons and nerves caused by overuse or misuse.
Workplace injuries such as repetitive strain injuries (RSI's) affect 15% or over 5 million Canadians. To increase awareness on these issues, the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) is pleased to offer 21st Annual RSI Day+ Webinar.
Panel Discussion presented by the Sudbury Local Advisory Committee: “What is a Worker’s Life Worth?"
12:00 pm - 3pm EST
It's easy to place a dollar value on work, but how do we calculate the life of a worker? Health and Safety regulations are weak and poorly enforced. Fines are low, compensation is limited. We don’t even know what counts as an occupational death.
What's a worker’s life worth? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion by a panel of Canadian experts.
Moderator: Reuben Roth, Associate Professor, Laurentian University
