WorkSafeBC is proud to host the Canadian Association for Research on Work and Health's next conference.
A biennial conference, CARWH 2012 will focus on innovation in occupational health and safety research, and bring together research experts and research users to expand and advance the dialogue on these topics.
The conference will be held on June 1 and 2. The theme is innovative ideas and research in occupational health and safety. The conference will include a wide variety of occupational health research, presented via keynote presentations, symposia, poster sessions, panel discussions and networking opportunities. Anyone with an interest in participating in the conversation is welcome.
A special “Student Day” will be held on May 31, 2012. This is a forum for students to meet with each other and academic mentors to consider topics of interest at this stage of their careers. All students are urged to sign up for this day, which has been highly successful at past conferences.
The program is currently in development. Please visit the website often for updates.
