The project uses a graduated approach to help workplaces move from hazard awareness to practical exposure assessment and control. Participants complete e-learning on key occupational health hazards\, followed by hands-on industrial hygiene workshops covering hazard assessment\, sampling\, monitoring\, and control strategies. Selected workplaces receive additional support through qualitative hazard assessments\, quantitative exposure monitoring\, and hands-on coaching from WSN Industrial Hygiene Specialists. The project also evaluates how training and workplace-based mentorship can build sustainable internal capacity to identify\, assess\, and control occupational health hazards and ultimately prevent occupational illness. \nUpdates on prevention tools\nMeghan Friesen\, ROH\, OHCOW\, Krista Thompson\, ROH\, OHCOW\nThermal stress (heat & cold)\nMasood Ahmed\, ROH\, OHCOW\, Andre Gauvin\, ROH\, OHCOW\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]Register on Eventbrite[/vc_column][/vc_row]
