Results from the recent CRE-MSD survey revealed that 67% of teleworkers would prefer some form of hybrid working arrangement post-pandemic. This webinar will present results related to the impact of remote workstation setup and work organization along with the insights into teleworkers’ motivations and preferences for hybrid work. This webinar will be of particular interest to those organizations that have adopted or are considering a hybrid working arrangement as it will address what is required of employers, as well as provide recommendations for supporting hybrid and remote workers.

Getting ready to implement MSD prevention into your organization's Health and Safety program? Preparing for an audit of the program? This checklist can be used in the initial design and review to check program alignment with key areas of the MSD Prevention Guideline for Ontario.

Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) hazards in the workplace must be treated the same as any other workplace hazard. This means MSD hazards need to be identified, assessed and eliminated or controlled. Learn how to integrate the 10 steps for MSD prevention into a Health and Safety program through our new poster resource.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many office workers to continue working from home. To examine the prolonged impact of working from home on the physical and mental health of workers, an online survey was issued between March and May 2022. The analysis revealed that many workers still do not have an optimal workstation set up at home, and self-reported mental and physical health were worse during the pandemic than before.

This webinar will provide an overview of related results and recommendations to improve the health impacts of telework, with emphasis on MSD prevention. It will be of interest to employers and employees completing computer-based work from home or in a hybrid working arrangement.
