We鈥檙e Safe Here, Right?: Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace
The voluntary National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace (the Standard) is the first of its kind in the world, creating a positive duty for individuals and organizations.
This dynamic workshop is geared towards anyone interested in workplace health and safety (e.g. HR, OHS, and Disability Management). Extensive training and/or experience in workplace health is not a prerequisite.
Participants will gain fluency through interaction and engagement with the 13 Factors outlined in the Standard. The goal is to enable participants to confidently dialogue about psychological health and safety in their workplace 鈥� which may drive positive changes, even in the absence of the formal implementation process.
