CRE-MSD is pleased to be partnering with the Work Wellness and Disability Prevention Institute (WWDPI) to present educational webinars on various construction work health topics, as part of the Construction Work Health Series Webinars.
In this webinar
Construction workers suffer numerous work-related injuries as well as health conditions and behaviours. The organizational structure and the job demands on these workers provide challenges to improve their total health. We've been developing and testing Total Worker Health® approaches for over 10 years, examining the various components of the commercial construction organizational structure. Our current evaluation examines work site based approaches.
You will learn:
- The various organizational components of the construction industry and their role in worker safety, health and wellbeing.
- The nature of a worker's experience of moving on and off sites.
- Total Worker Health® approaches for a work site that aligns with current safety practices on work sites that demonstrated effective changes in worker behaviours.
