All workers face health and safety issues at work - injuries, workplace hazards, diseases, and stress. Many of these issues have a gender dimension - they affect women in particular ways.
This course provides participants with the opportunity to develop their ability to identify, assess and control workplace hazards from a woman’s perspective.
In this course participants will:
- Discuss how women’s health (including reproductive health) is affected by toxic workplace substances, work design & work organization.
- Learn about workplace stresses such as violence (including domestic violence), bullying and harassment.
Audience: Health and safety committee members and all women who want to know more about how to make our workplaces and lives safer and healthier. Prerequisite: Completion of the OH&S Part 1 course is required before taking this course.
