What you will learn:

The major role of Occupational Health Nurses is to assist patients in their recovery from workplace injuries. Even though OHNs see their patients after injury, they also play a key role in injury prevention once patients return to work. OHNs that work in any industry need to understand what hazards their workers may encounter. This module will prepare OHNs on strategies to prevent injury, gain a deeper understanding of ergonomics, and how it all falls within occupational health. Concepts in this course include hierarchy of controls, job hazard assessments, and the proper use of PPE. This course is also part of the OHN Prep Course Package.
