The Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) aims to identify a set of leading and lagging occupational health indicators that can support PCBU’s to identify and track the workplace conditions and factors that can adversely and positively affect worker health. The goal of this AIOH scheme is to support Business Leaders and Occupational Health and Safety Professionals in choosing internal occupational health indicators, developing an external tool which will be useful in benchmarking Australia’s Occupational Health performance and thus “Raising the Standards” for worker health protection. We will also be using this as an opportunity to consult with you to get an idea of what you think need to be focused on in health risk management and what you think represents good practice.
The Central Queensland Chapter of the AIOH is kicking off with a presentation from Cory Ebenestelli, Director of Mitilabs, and developer of the HAVTrack Smartwatch. Cory will detail the features of the Smartwatch and the science behind it, discuss results from recent trials, and respond to any and all questions on the technology designed to prevent users from reaching harmful hand-arm vibration exposure levels.
Aims to prevent dust-related occupational lung disease, such as silicosis, in workers, through education & awareness of safe work practices to control exposures.
