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\nMore info to come \nThermal stress (heat & cold)\n\nMasood Ahmed\, ROH\, OHCOW\, Andre Gauvin\, ROH\, OHCOW\n\nThis session will introduce participants to OHCOW’s practical tools and resources for preventing temperature-related workplace illness. The presentation will walk through the Cold Stress Calculator and the guidelines used in its development\, while explaining the fundamentals of heat conservation and effective cold stress prevention. Participants will also explore OHCOW’s Heat Stress Toolkit\, Heat Stress Calculator\, and new Heat Stress App\, gaining practical guidance on how these resources can support workplace assessment\, planning\, and prevention. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]Register on Eventbrite[/vc_column][/vc_row]

It reminds us of the need for vigilance in the fight against gender-based violence. \nFrom the Canadian website: \nThe National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women is about remembering those who have experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it. It is also a time to take action. Achieving a Canada free from gender-based violence requires everyone living in this country to educate themselves and their families and communities on gender-based violence\, centre the voices of survivors in our actions and speak up against harmful behaviours. \nOn this day\, we wear a white ribbon to honour the victims and call for an end to gender-based violence. The White Ribbon Campaign is a global movement of men and boys in more than 60 countries working to end male violence against women and girls. It began in Toronto in 1991 in response to the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
