This 2.5 day course provides an opportunity to explore various occupational health topics not typically covered in a traditional industrial hygiene class. Participants will hear from industry experts on complex issues such as implementing effective employee health management programs, worksite wellness programs, communicable disease control in the workplace, and risk management (with a focus on workers compensation and labor relations). Promotion strategies outlining the business case for workplace environmental, health & safety (EHS) will be emphasized.
