CABS-ACSB FREE Webinar-Occupational Health Lens on lessons from COVID-19
May-26-2026
Please join us on May26, 2026 (12 pm CST) for the next webinaravailable to CABS-ACSB Members as part of our webinar series!
The topic Statistics Are PeopleWith The Tears Wiped Away: An Occupational Health Lens on Lessons from theCOVID-19 Pandemic will be presented by Dorothy Wigmore, Occupational HealthSpecialist. .
Thereare many lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic’s past and on-going harm,especially around what could be prevented. Yet too many decision-makers andtheir advisors continue to ignore them. This is particularly true whenexamining the experiences of workers and those trained to protect them (e.g.,occupational hygienists). Like the Lancet Commission, their lessons highlight“transmission truth” about aerosols and airborne transmission, and thesubsequent need to clean the air to prevent sharing the SARS-CoV-2 virus andother airborne hazards. The long-standing issue of healthy indoor air -- think“sick building syndrome” from the 1980s and 1990s -- returned to some agendasas one of the pandemic’s other essential lessons, along with the need formultiple voices at the table and application of the precautionary principle.This presentation will review these and other lessons from the pandemic, usingan occupational health lens and preventive public health principles.
Registration is complimentary for CABS-ACSB Members. The registration cost for non-members is $25.00 CAD.
