LOHP - Labor Occupational Health Program

5 days ago

Our own Dr. Monique Hosein is back from #APHA2024 where she won an award from the Occupational Health and Safety Section as a new practitioner for her poster on the Research to Practice (R2P) Toolkit for research teams.The R2P toolkit is a practical guide and planning tool to help research teams:1) create a plan to identify and engage key stakeholders early in the research process, and2) develop a research-to-action strategy to disseminate their most significantpotential findings and recommended action.LOHP collaborated with @ucberkeleycoeh and The California Labor Lab to develop this updated toolkit. Especially in occupational safety and health, we want our research to reach beyond publishing findings to implementation that improves worker health and potentially save lives.Monique joined LOHP in 2022 and leads our Worker Occupational Safety and Health Training and Education Program (WOSHTEP) and School Action for Safety and Health (SASH) programs.Swipe to learn more about the R2P toolkit and Monique's adventures in the city of lakes.

LOHP - Labor Occupational Health Program

LOHP Coordinators Tenaya and Alejandra covered how to ID underlying causes of injuries and illnesses at work, the best solutions to health and safety issues, workers' legal rights - including those under Cali's new Indoor Heat Standard, and strategies for taking action. This was part of WOSHTEP, a training program that prepares workers for leadership roles in the workplaces to reduce job-related injuries and illnesses. Industrial laundry workers described increasingly facing extreme heat as a result of climate change and due to their particular conditions (lack of AC and ventilation in most buildings, plus radiant heat sources like washers, dryers, and irons.) They also described symptoms from numerous chemicals they use. WSRJB Workers United-SEIUnited-SEIU for partnering#UnionStrongnionstrong ... See MoreSee Less
