Algoma Steel: voluntary worker employment exposure history initiative
Derrick Chung, ROH, OHCOW, Jessica Montgomery, OHC, OHCOW
This presentation provides an overview of OHCOW’s Algoma Steel Voluntary Worker Employment Exposure History Initiative. It describes the project’s objectives, development and worker interview process, and standardized work history reports used to document jobs, tasks, occupational exposures and exposure modifiers. It also explains how the resulting information will support current and future occupational disease claims and contribute to a searchable exposure database.
