Climate change as an OHS issue
The impact of climate change on worker health and safety, and the response by OHS professionals, will be discussed by Sam Hall in a lunchtime presentation to Central Safety Group on Tuesday 9 June.
Sam is doing PhD research into how climate change is creating new and emerging risks for worker health, safety and wellbeing. She is also exploring how occupational health professionals in Australia perceive these impacts of climate change, as well the role they can play in workplace climate adaptation.
Sam will present preliminary findings on the perceptions of climate-related risks at work. She will also discuss how workplaces may respond proactively to climate change as an OHS and work design issue.
The talk will be followed by audience questions and discussion.
Our members always appreciate hearing about new research, especially as it stimulates new thinking and inspires innovation in OHS management. Come along for your monthly dose of inspiration from CSG!
Sam Hall is a qualified physiotherapist and ergonomist with 20 years’ experience across occupational health and safety, rehabilitation, wellbeing, coaching, and education.
She is currently a graduate researcher completing a PhD at La Trobe University’s Climate Change Adaptation Lab, investigating the climate change impacts on health at work.
Sam holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and a Masters of Health Science (Ergonomics) from the University of Queensland, and a Masters of Health Science (OHS) from Queensland Institute of Technology.
