Chinese Delegates from the State Administration for Work Safety (SAWS) Training at the NJ Historical Society in Newark, NJ
At the request of our client, our staff of CIHs and CSPs discussed the future of work in all industries including the technological and information changes that align with automated processes, upgrades in the need for more occupational health and safety training, and cottage industries that may grow in the 21st century. The course discussed concepts of risk governance - communication, appraisal, assessment, and management and the economic, social, and political impact of implementing a comprehensive health and safety program. Delegates discover how networking and collaboration between various governmental agencies, university research, statistics from recordkeeping, growth and mentoring of students and career-minded individuals can protect not only workers but promote a safety culture and behavior both on- and off-the-job.
The Untold Story: Impact of Mental Health and Psychosocial Disorders in the Workplace
Many supervisors/managers have little understanding of the behavioral health issues hidden in the workplace. While rules provide reasonable accommodations and family leave, the cost to business, economy, society, and government is staggering, and the emotional costs to workers is tragic. Many stigmas and myths about these issues persist throughout our society. As a result, these disorders go unrecognized and/or untreated, which affect a worker’s health, livelihood, career, and productivity. Co-workers also are affected when they are unsure of what to do for a colleague whom they suspect to be in distress. Supervisors and managers must recognize when and how to intervene, so workers can maintain their job performance and companies can avoid economic losses due to these workplace issues.
Occupational, Public, and Environmental Health, Safety, and Risk Issues in a Natural Disaster
In a natural disaster, there are many considerations to protect life, property, and the environment. Natural disasters include, but not limited to, severe storms, flooding, tornado, hurricane, wildfires, earthquake, land and mudslides. Understanding the vulnerability and magnitude of the issues including the frequency of occurrence, geographical importance, and measures to prepare are essential consideration to protect all stakeholders. Above all, communication must be maintained to make the appropriate decisions, reduce risk, and limit liability wherever possible. Information shared by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are included in the presentation. Some of the specific chemical, biological, radiological, and physical health and safety hazards were reviewed along with the suggested controls and precautions.
