Friday, December 10 - 9:30 to 11:30am EST
Seize the opportunity to work with Calculator creator, John Oudyk and other OHCOW occupational hygienists to better understand the factors affecting Indoor Air Quality and infectious disease prevention in classrooms (and single offices or small meeting rooms). Then learn how to identify and source key pieces of information in order to assess the safety in individual rooms. Bring your own data so we can help you start your calculations using this helpful tool.

Thursday, December 16 - 10:00am to 12pm EST
Each year, we gradually become accustomed to working in the cold as winter progresses. But are we doing everything we can to minimize long term health effects when engaged in snow removal, or other work, in cold temperatures?
This webinar examines:
- Short- and long-term health effects of being in a cold environment
- The body’s physiological response to colder temperatures
- Precautions that can reduce the effects of cold on our bodies
In addition, OHCOW has been creating new tools to help minimize the effects of working in the cold through preventive recommendations. View the Cold Stress Calculator now and follow us on social media (icons linked below), where we will announce the Glove Size Calculator soon! |
