Key topics
Reducing incidents of workplace violence through prevention is a crucial component of an organization’s health and safety program, as is knowing what to do following an incident. Understanding the specific work factors that can put workers at increased risk of violence such as working with the public or community is an important step in prevention.
MSD prevention efforts aim to minimize or eliminate hazards in the workplace to reduce the number and likelihood of workers being injured or experiencing pain on the job. Adopting an approach to recognize, assess, control, and evaluate MSD hazards will assist in standardizing the approach to MSD prevention and improve health outcomes.
Employee psychological wellbeing and mental health is important for workplaces to consider in their overall health and safety program, as they can have negative impacts on employees, customer experience, and even quality of service. PSHSA has many resources, tools, and services available to help workplaces manage this crucial area of health and safety.
