The number of in-person trainings or presentations given by staff each year is limited by the availability of appropriate venues to provide training and the willingness of employers and our academic partners to invite us. However, the 9 trainings and presentations that were given by the Occupational Health Unit in 2013 spanned the entirety of our stakeholder groups and represented many high-risk workers in the state, including young workers, older workers, those with limited English language skills, and workers in high-risk industries.

These data are current as of July 2020.

The CT DPH Occupational Health Program actively seeks opportunities to perform in-person trainings to worker groups, in partnership with other stakeholder agencies (CT DOL, Conn-OSHA, employee unions, etc.). We are currently developing higher-visibility presentation materials for use at educational events to increase our visible presence at these events and further deliver our key messages of workplace health and safety.

CT DPH Occupational Health Program staff are asked several times per year to deliver direct training or information presentations to our partner institutions or to groups of workers or employers either on-site or at off-site locations. In addition, as part of the normal process of injury investigation at workplaces, finding are often summarized and presented to employers, workers, and their representatives once they are finalized.
