National Forum to Focus on Health and Safety Issues of Changing Workplaces
|
CCOHS announced that it would host a national forum to explore health and safety issues that are emerging from changing workplaces. CCOHS’ Forum '07 will be held September 17-18, 2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
With “Emerging Health & Safety Issues in Changing Workplaces: A Canadian Discussion” as the theme, this two-day event will bring together subject experts, workers, employers and governments to share their knowledge and experience around this pan-Canadian issue and to discuss problems and solutions.
This will be CCOHS' second national forum. The first one held in 2005 brought together nearly 350 Canadians who shared concerns, debated issues and made recommendations on the issue of occupational disease. The benefits of the forum were extended to thousands more who reviewed the information and outcomes which were posted on the CCOHS website. It is expected that Forum '07 will generate a similar interest and enthusiasm, and will help stimulate creative solutions among Canadians to help ensure people can be safe and healthy at work.
CCOHS will be releasing more details in the upcoming weeks on the Forum '07 website, about the topics and speakers, as well as registration and exhibiting information.
