FROM OUR CHAIRThe last 16 months have been an exciting time at CROSH with a successful conference on Mental Health in the Workplace, establishment of a student internship program with community partners, and the official opening of the CROSH laboratory. On January 1, 2015 I took on a new role with CROSH and stepped down from the Director’s position. As the inaugural Research Chair in Occupational Health and Safety, I look forward to working more closely with the talented team of CROSH researchers and graduate students. Together we will continue to build partnerships with labour and industry to address stakeholder-driven research questions.

The opening of the CROSH laboratory in April was a proud moment for the CROSH research team and would not have happened without the leadership of the CROSH Advisory Board and commitment of our community partners. The laboratory will support training of student researchers and future leaders in occupational safety and health, it will serve as a meeting place for CROSH researchers and community partners to launch collaborative research discussions, and it will be a catalyst for the development of innovative research programs.

To continue to serve the research needs of our stakeholders, CROSH will host (or participate) in several community forums over the next 18-months. We want to hear from workers, industry leaders, community partners and YOU. What occupational health and safety issues need to be understood, evaluated and solved? I invite you to connect with CROSH: stop in to visit the CROSH lab on the Laurentian University campus, send us an email, follow us on twitter, and/or give me a call.

It is an exciting time to be affiliated with CROSH. I look forward to solidifying connections with existing community stakeholders and facilitating new partnerships as we work together to drive PREVENTION THROUGH RESEARCH.

Live well, work safe.

Dr. Sandra Dorman, PhD Interim Director, CROSH

FROM OUR DIRECTORSince its founding, seven years ago, the Centre for Research in Occupational Safety and Health (CROSH) has continued to strive towards its mandate of improving workplace health and safety in northern communities. This year has been a pivotal one, as we recruited Dr. Tammy Eger to the position of Research Chair in Occupational Health and Safety, and we officially opened the CROSH Home Laboratory (H-CROSH)!

Dr. Eger is recognized by her peers as an international expert in vibration research and has done seminal work documenting whole-body vibration and foot-transmitted vibration exposure associated with surface and underground mining. She is an award-winning researcher who has led the field-to lab-to field (F2L2F) research paradigm that CROSH is becoming renowned for. Dr. Eger brings her knowledge, enthusiasm and passion to this position in a way that will elevate the research at CROSH to a new standard. Her connections to Northern Ontario, local politics, and her ability to bridge the gap between different levels of occupational health and safety management are impressive.

We are proud to celebrate the Centre’s ability to successfully meet our goals for 2015, including building our community partnerships, expanding our membership, extending our community outreach and increasing our reach both nationally and internationally.

As the new Director, I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such passionate and committed health and safety experts amongst both our esteemed Advisory Board and Executive Members. I look forward to getting to know all of the CROSH members and community partners as we continue to build a Research Centre renowned for its ability to solve relevant problems in northern workplaces and communities, through our mandate of F2L2F, Prevention through research.

I encourage you to contact me to discuss opportunities within the Centre.

SAFETY & HEALTH TOGETHER!

Representatives of labour and industry joined researchers at Laurentian University on April 27, 2015 for the official opening of the new research laboratory at the University’s Centre for Research in Occupational Safety and Health (CROSH). The laboratory will support numerous research projects led by the CROSH team, with the aim of reducing or eliminating occupational injury and illness in the workplace.

Laurentian University has committed 1,695 sq. ft. of new laboratory space and 629 sq. ft. of office and meeting space to support the research work of CROSH and the research Chair in OHS. To foster transformative and collaborative research, a dedicated lab for motion analysis, advanced biomechanics and ergonomics research has been relocated next to the CROSH laboratory.

LAB GRAND OPENING

“My internship experience is going really well. My supervisor is an excellent mentor; he is happy to teach me things and I am learning so much! I am meeting so many new people and getting an inside look at a union, which I could never get in a classroom. This really is an all-around invaluable experience." Lisa Schutt, United Steelworkers 2020 Intern

"My internship is great so far. Everyone is nice and they really appreciate the work that I do. I am excited for the summer! I will be traveling to different field crews to observe their work and look for health and safety issues and solutions. I'm looking for a possible PhD Health and Safety thesis through the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. That way I can still work with and contribute to CROSH." Jordan Babando, Ministry of Northern Development and Mines Intern

2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT 14www.crosh.ca [email protected] @crosh_crsst

CROSH/GSM INTERNSHIPS CROSH and the Goodman School of Mines (GSM) developed a unique CROSH/GSM internship experience program. Through this program, students with interest and background knowledge in occupational health and safety took on paid internships with respected local companies. The internships were designed to provide students with work experience in occupational health and safety, and to provide companies with an additional resource to identify and solve occupational health and safety issues. Four student positions were filled in 2014/2015.

KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER & EXCHANGE CROSH collaborated with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry/Aviation, Forest Fire and Emergency Services (MNRF/AFFES) to produce bilingual workplace safety posters. The posters present preliminary observations of a CROSH research study focused on fatigue in forest firefighting. The final posters have been distributed to Fire Management Headquarters across Ontario.

2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORTwww.crosh.ca [email protected] @crosh_crsst 15


OUR PR OGRAMS SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IN CONSTRUCTION

The purpose of this program is to determine whether there is a mismatch between the visibility perceptions of the heavy equipment operators and pedestrians in the work environment. The research team will compare measured line-of-sight in the machines, with the perception of line-of-sight from both operators and pedestrians and determine whether there is a mismatch in the understanding of heavy equipment machinery. CROSH researchers will also administer a survey to evaluate whether the perceived risk of working around heavy equipment differs for different types of employees (drivers, pedestrians, signal people). CROSH will evaluate how a variety of existing reversing technologies change the way an operator drives his/her machine on site while monitoring cognitive load and physiological response variables. The overall goal in collaboration with participating workplace partners is the prevention of mobile equipment accidents involving pedestrians and other equipment.

@crosh_crsst


OUR PROGRAMS MENTAL HEALTH & WORKER WELLBEING

CROSH researchers are studying mental health in the workplace and its relationship with accidents/injury, absenteeism, presenteeism and return to work. In doing so, researchers intend to advance our understanding of job stress, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work engagement. The links between physical activty, leisure, and work-life/family life balance and occupational mental health are also being investigated. The CROSH team will offer particular attention to these issues as they relate to rural/northern workforces, with a view of informing interventions and guiding evidence-based workplace policies/procedures.


OUR PR OGRAMS VIBRATION

The vibration research team studies occupational exposure to whole-body, hand-arm and foot-transmitted vibration. Building off previous research, which has documented vibration exposure characteristics associated with increased health risks, the research team is currently focused on interventions aimed at exposure reduction. The team is evaluating the benefits of using an iPod Touch with an iOS application (developed to enable whole-body vibration measurement) as part of a vibration management system. Field-testing is currently being conducted to determine if increased awareness of daily vibration exposure is beneficial in the determination and implementation of targeted control strategies. The team is also evaluating the benefits of specific combinations of personal protective equipment (mats, boots, insoles) for workers exposed to foot-transmitted-vibration when operating underground mining equipment. Lab results were promising and field trials have started.

OUR PROGRAMS

FATIGUE

CROSH is committed to taking a comprehensive approach in understanding factors relating to fatigue and recovery in the workplace. Factors may include, but are not limited to, physical activity intensity, nutritional practices, work physiology, energy balance, environmental and occupational stressors, sleep quantity and quality, and psychological health and safety. Our group seeks to collaborate with organizations in identifying and measuring the main factors and their subsequent impact on health and occupational outcomes in their respective workplaces. Central to this research area is a broadening of our understanding of the interaction between these and other confounding factors as they influence workplace illness and injury in order to develop resources, strategies and interventions aimed at preventing future injuries.
