Product Description
Research has shown that some physical and mental changes do occur as people age. How do these changes affect people and the jobs they do?
In this free webinar, Emma Ashurst from CCOHS will discuss what has been learned from research studies and demonstrate how specific solutions and practices can prevent these changes from becoming hindrances in the workplace.
This webinar will review aging from an occupational health and safety perspective and examine different work situations (carrying heavy loads, computer work, visual environment, chemical exposures, etc), explore the possible impact on older workers and discuss solutions on how to keep everyone safe and free of injury.
