“In-person learning was not an option at that time so implementing this government directive was a challenge for workplaces,” says Warner. “Our three-part Training the Fit Tester for Respiratory Protection program ensured more healthcare workers were compliant and safe on the job. The program continues to this day.”
PSHSA prioritizes excellence through customer-centric frameworks and outcome-based initiatives. Their consultants prepare workplaces to be compliant with legislative and regulatory requirements, and address needs and concerns specific to workplaces, industries, locations, or employees.
PSHSA health and safety consultants working in the field are experts in everything from ergonomics to psychological health and safety. They conduct webinars, offer in-person and online instruction, and provide e-learning modules that allow students to study at their own pace. Many of these opportunities are available free of charge.
“As an organization, we continue to innovate and learn from the latest in the occupational health and safety sector to meet the needs of evolving workplaces. Evidence-based and effective workplace health and safety solutions are more important than ever, and these solutions need to be – and are with PSHSA – accessible, integrated and optimized for the end user across a variety of platforms.”
PSHSA is equipped and ready for whatever the future holds. It encourages organizations looking to adjust or improve workplace health and safety protocols to reach out.
