In this two-part workshop:

First, learn the nuts and bolts of assessing MSI risk in manual material handling tasks with ergonomist Dr. Aaron Derouin. Get hands-on practice with tools to assess risk levels and limits for manual lifting.

Then take part in a tabletop exercise to evaluate the effectiveness of an emergency response plan focusing on the first aid response. Identify roles and responsibilities and practice communication and coordination among team members to ensure compliance with WorkSafeBC requirements for first aid and emergency response risk assessments.
