Addressing today's exposures requires swift action, a high level of professional judgment and broader perspectives than ever before. This fast-paced, example-filled presentation will challenge your current notion of what is work-related and what isn't, what really matters when it comes to health and safety interventions, and why our past approaches to lower injury and illness rates aren't enough if we want to continue the gains we have made.
