Managing Safety in a Diverse Workplace
As a diverse workforce becomes increasingly prevalent in Canadian organizations, the traditional one-size-fits-all safety management is no longer sufficient. Diversity can create challenges in health and safety due to different experiences, biases, training, and attitudes. This seminar will help students recognize various diversity-related challenges and explore strategies to address them, such as effective training, protective measures, and safety communications.
