BWC Still Offering Virtual Training Classes

We are offering a small number of classes virtually during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. All classroom offerings are cancelled for 2020, and classroom cancellations will likely extend to most of the fiscal year ending June 2021. Virtual training will provide an opportunity for students to learn remotely to ensure the safety of our customers. All virtual training classes provide the same credits associated with a training class scheduled at a physical location.

And don’t forget! We offer online courses to Ohio employers and employees with active workers’ compensation coverage.

2021 Ohio Safety Congress & Expo to Be Completely Online  

To keep attendees safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, we will offer the 2021 Ohio Safety Congress & Expo (OSC21) as an online-only event.

The annual event, to be held March 10 – 11, 2021, will feature dozens of learning sessions and a digital expo, allowing participants to chat virtually with vendors about new and existing products and services. As always, attendance is free to Ohio employers. Registration for OSC21 will be available in December.

OCOSH Facility Closing, Moving to Columbus

BWC’s Division of Safety & Hygiene headquarters located at the Ohio Center for Occupational Safety and Health (OCOSH) building is moving from Pickerington to downtown Columbus at the end of this month. This will not change the way you call or email us. Remote services during the COVID-19 pandemic will continue. However, the new address of the Division of Safety & Hygiene is 30 W. Spring St., L25, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

The move will help make the best use of existing office space and foster greater collaboration with our other divisions.

Improve Sleep

We all know adequate sleep is key to overall health and well-being. This post on the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Science blog has tips to help you get a better night’s sleep.

Report on Nonfatal Occupational Injuries to Younger Workers

Researchers from NIOSH reviewed data from the occupational supplement to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses for injuries to younger workers. The results reported in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) found that young workers (aged 15–24 years) experience higher rates of job-related injury than do adult workers (aged 25–44 years).

Limiting Workplace Violence Associated with COVID-19 Prevention Policies

The CDC developed guidance for employers and employees in retail, services, and other customer-based businesses to help prevent workplace violence associated with enforcing COVID-19 prevention policies. The site has information on what employers can do to prevent workplace violence, an infographic, and links to training and additional information.
