CROSH provides occupational health and safety-related workshops on a number of topics. Our workshops are delivered by subject matter experts who have years of experience in Knowledge Translation Exchange. Example workshop topics include vibration, line-of-sight, and fatigue.

All shook up: Measurement evaluation and control of occupational vibration exposure
Presented by Dr. Katie Goggins, this workshop discusses vibration exposure risks associated with operating heavy industrial equipment and powered tools common in mining, forestry and construction. Participants learn the basics of vibration measurement and evaluation, and they benefit from discussion on control strategies for vibration exposure management.

Line-of-Sight: How to get meaningful results from equipment in your workplace
Presented by Dr. Alison Godwin. With this workshop, workplaces will acquire knowledge about line–of–sight (LOS) standards, alternatives for onsite calculations (including a spreadsheet to help with generation of LOS plots), practical advice on how to measure LOS on their own equipment, and ideas for generating visuals specific to their organization.

Sleep: Understanding personal needs and optimizing management under challenging circumstances
Presented by Dr. Sandra Dorman. While different workplaces present different challenges, scientific literature provides several best practices that can be adapted for individuals. This can help workers better understand their sleep needs and cope with home- and workplace-related sleep challenges. This workshop will draw on case studies and pre-existing tools to explore sleep optimization and strategies to improve overall employee well-being.
