Total Worker Health® practitioner education

With continued interest in learning more about the Total Worker Health® Approach, particularly among occupational safety, health and well-being professionals and practitioners, we want to be deliberate in scheduling educational opportunities. Beginning this fall, we will offer “Total Worker Health (TWH) 101: The Basics” 3-hour course each quarter either live or online, to supplement other offerings. This course is a “building block” to additional education and organizational implementation, and a key offering of our Oregon TWH Alliance supported by its partners: Oregon Healthy Workforce Center/OccHealthSci; SAIF and Oregon OSHA.

In this blog we offer details about that next course as well as other related offerings.

Wed., November 2, 2022 9 AM – noon (Pacific Time), free
