While heat stress is a recognized hazard in some workplaces all year long, extreme summer temperatures may introduce the risk into other workplaces. "And now there's the COVID-19 factor," says WSPS Occupational Hygiene Specialist Warren Clements. "It's generating questions the health and safety community hasn’t encountered before."

Virtual classroom training, the latest addition to WSPS' training repertoire, gives workplaces much needed flexibility now - in this era of physical distancing - and for the future.

How effective are the controls you have in place to manage COVID-19? Are there even better ways to ensure the health and safety of your employees? As Ontario heads back to work, it's a good time to find out, says WSPS Senior Consultant Norm Kramer.

After three months of pandemic-related restrictions and physical distancing, many day-to-day tasks are more difficult now than at the start of the pandemic.
