SUMMARY:It’s time to improve occupational exposure and disease statistics in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Occupational Health Clinics  for ON Workers (OHCOW)\nEvery Thursday\, October 29 – November 26\, 2026\n12:00 PM – 01:30 PM EST\nOcc|tober & Beyond 2026 Webinar Series: Every Exposure Tells A Story Tickets\, Thursday\, October 29-Thursday\, November 26  •  10 AM-11:30 AM MDT | Eventbrite \n\n Navigating the nuances of dermal exposure assessment\n\nDr Melanie Gorman Ng\, Adjunct Professor\, UBC\n\nCharacterizing dermal exposure presents challenges for occupational hygienists because no “gold standard” methodology exists. There are standard methods for evaluating inhalation exposure to many substances but few standard methods exist for dermal sampling. Evaluating dermal exposure requires an understanding of the strengths\, biases and limitations of multiple methods. This presentation will explore the practical realities of assessing dermal exposure\, selecting the appropriate measurement methodology\, and assessing dermal exposure risk when measurement is not possible or practicable. Overall\, this presentation will provide insight into navigating the nuances of dermal sampling\, selecting pragmatic assessment tools\, and understanding the broader multi-pathway mechanics of dermal exposure. \n\n\nExamining healthcare workers’ exposure to hazardous drugs\n\nDr. Chun-Yip Hon\, Associate Professor\, TMU\n\nThe risk of healthcare workers exposed to hazardous drugs has been known since the 1970s.  Occupational exposure typically occurs by touching drug-contaminated surfaces which can lead to damage to genetic material and reproductive toxicities. There are no acceptable occupational exposure limits and\, therefore\, it is important to keep exposure as low as reasonably practicable.  In 2011\, we conducted a pilot study to ascertain the likelihood of dermal (skin) exposure at BC hospitals.  We found that some healthcare workers had detectable levels of hazardous drug residue on their hands. Given the potential for exposure\, it prompted us to undertake various research studies to better understand the exposure risk as well as identify or evaluate mitigation strategies to reduce the risk amongst healthcare workers. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of the body of scholarly work surrounding Canadian healthcare workers’ exposure to hazardous drugs over the past 15 years.

The project uses a graduated approach to help workplaces move from hazard awareness to practical exposure assessment and control. Participants complete e-learning on key occupational health hazards\, followed by hands-on industrial hygiene workshops covering hazard assessment\, sampling\, monitoring\, and control strategies. Selected workplaces receive additional support through qualitative hazard assessments\, quantitative exposure monitoring\, and hands-on coaching from WSN Industrial Hygiene Specialists. The project also evaluates how training and workplace-based mentorship can build sustainable internal capacity to identify\, assess\, and control occupational health hazards and ultimately prevent occupational illness. \n\n\nUpdates on prevention tools\n\nMeghan Friesen\, ROH\, OHCOW\, Krista Thompson\, ROH\, OHCOW\n\n\n\n\nThermal stress (heat & cold)\n\nMasood Ahmed\, ROH\, OHCOW\, Andre Gauvin\, ROH\, OHCOW
