Day of Mourning Seminar

On April 26, 2013, AUPE’s Occupational Health and Safety committee will be hosting the International Day of Mourning Seminar. Major occupational health and safety issues such as, but not limited to, workplace violence, posttraumatic stress disorder, working alone, occupational disease due to workplace exposures, are becoming prevalent amongst our membership and require leadership initiatives/strategies to eliminate or control these issues.
