The Aquatics Health and Safety Awareness campaign is designed to raise awareness of occupational health and safety concerns for those working in and around aquatic facilities, and to provide free and accessible resources to workers (including vulnerable/new/young workers), supervisors, pool facility operators, and organizations. The webinars are no cost, open to all attendees, and will be recorded and made available following the event.

This 45-minute webinar is presented by a fall protection engineering expert who will highlight known and overlooked slip, trip, and fall hazards in the aquatic pool working environment. The subject matter expert will support you in strategizing how to start or enhance your existing fall protection program and how to identify hazards before selecting fall protection solutions. Following the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of our subject matter expert.

• Identify known slip, trip, and fall hazards and their contributing factors.
• Learn to create a strategy to identify slip, trip, and fall hazards.
• Create awareness of slip, trip, all fall hazards specific to work parties/departments.
• Review Alberta occupational health and safety legislation - specifically, hazard assessment [AB OHS Code 7(1)], and Fall Protection – General Protection [AB OHS Code139(1)].

If you are involved with claims management, returning injured employees to work, completing hazard identification, or reducing workplace injury risk, you have probably heard of a Job Demands Assessment (JDA); sometimes known as a Physical Demands Assessment (PDA), Physical Demands Description (PDD) or Physical and Cognitive Demands Assessment (PCDA). This session will explain what a JDA is, what information is contained in a JDA and who should write a JDA. Lastly, this session reviews how JDAs can be used by multiple business units within an organization.

 What is Neurodiversity Celebration Week?
 
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.
