Attendees will also hear about the process of getting back to work after an injury, including common challenges and solutions, and the support available for injured workers and their employers.

WorkSafe’s occupational hygienists will then discuss recent changes to welding fumes exposure standards before about a session on the important role of health and safety representatives. Lunch and a chance to connect with local businesses and WorkSafe specialists will bring the event to a close.
