  • COVID-19, Events, Occupational Illness, Videos, Webinars (Live)
  • 2021, Infectious, Transmission / Exposure Control

Part of the OHCOW  OCC-COVID Webinar Series

March 12, 2021

Building on our “Air” on the Side of Caution session, this sequel offers further guidance around ventilation solutions and tools to help control the COVID-19 virus in workplaces. During the pandemic, information about ventilation and air cleaning has become confusing and a point of contention. Most people want to find the best way to protect themselves and others, especially given the rising threat of more transmissable “variants of concern”. Join this interdisciplinary team of scientists and occupational health experts who will provide practical advice and guidance on some of the many questions that are being asked by workplace parties and the public.

SESSIONS / SPEAKERS:

Evaluation, Monitoring and Mitigation of SARS-CoV-2 Airborne Transmission Risks in Cities and Buildings
Dr. Liangzhu (Leon) Wang, Concordia University

Strategic Safety Measures to Mitigate Indoor Risk of Viral Transmission
Thomas Smith, 3 Flow

More Important Than Ever: Air Treatment in the Age of COVID-19
Dr. Jeffrey Siegel, University of Toronto

Success Story: Putting Knowledge Into Action to Get Air-Purifiers in School
Dr. Sarah Addleman, Aerosol Transmission Coalition

95% Confidence Interval (CI)

95% Confidence Interval (CI) is a range of values (upper and lower) that you can be 95% certain contains the true mean of the population.

Relative Risk (RR)

The relative risk is a comparison of the risk of getting lung cancer for those exposed to diesel exhaust compared to those who have never been exposed to diesel exhaust – for example, if the relative risk is 1.5, it means that for the cumulative diesel exhaust exposure entered into the calculator, the risk associated with that exposure is 1.5 times higher than the background risk of lung cancer for those who have not been occupationally exposed to diesel exhaust.
