Workers' Health and Return to Work in a Changing World of Work

This conference focuses on policy and practice related to occupational injury and illness prevention, rehabilitation and return-to-work.
About this Event

The conference will focus on policy and practice related to occupational injury and illness prevention and rehabilitation, particularly on workers in situations of vulnerability, and on the role of unions, workplaces, and human rights organisations in supporting their return-to-work. An additional focus will be on challenges in the fair application of workers’ compensation policy, especially with respect to workers who are precariously employed, geographically mobile, low wage earners or experiencing mental health issues.

A welcome cocktail is planned for Sunday from 6-8 pm at the University of Ottawa.

Please note that this event is in person. The deadline to register is April 15 2024.
