In a recent training program, for construction employers as well as Occupational Health professionals, CBH proposed launching of a new, one of its kind, Construction Health Action Toolkit (CHAT) later this year. In the training program, which was hosted by CBH itself, health issues faced by the construction industry were the highlight of discussions.
The Toolkit is designed to provide a work related health management apparatus, which works on an interactive basis, for the whole range of employees It has been introduced keeping in mind the task faced by employers of assessing and managing the occupational health needs of their employees.
There was also a discussion on application of prescribed health standards and policies as well as the application of management processes to fulfil the needs of the employees. The occasion provided participants a better health risk understanding and a great opportunity for construction employers and OH professionals to interact and present their views on all kinds of health risks.
The distinguished guests of the day, including Wendy Stimson, Director of Occupational Health at CBH and Michelle Aldous, Chief Executive, pointed out that the training days held by CBH are a part of their initiative towards better management of occupational health issues on a national level.
