This session will walk through common recommendations from chemical and noise exposure assessments\, and the practical steps workplaces can take to address them. We’ll explore the hierarchy of controls\, discuss how to evaluate and document control options\, and identify actions that can be taken while longer-term solutions are being investigated or implemented. Real-world examples will help connect assessment recommendations to workplace action. Attendees will also be introduced to free resources\, tools and links that can support the management of occupational hygiene hazards and help turn assessment findings into an actionable plan. \nNoise and ototoxicants\nIna Chomyshyn\, MLITSD\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]Register on Eventbrite[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Occ-tober and Beyond Part 5

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]
