Workplaces can be a significant site of hazardous exposures and injuries. Now a new DHS dashboard on Workers Compensation data can help WEHA members better understand some of these risks. On this webinar, staff from DHS’s Occupational Health and Safety Surveillance Unit will walk you through the dashboard and discuss how it can inform your understanding of environmental and occupational health risks. Time permitting, staff can also point to other data products and information of use to WEHA members.

Do you help your citizens or customers test for radon in their homes? Do you later refer them to radon mitigation companies? Now is a chance to learn what a radon mitigation specialist does in a home or business. Many of us know the science background and health effects of radon, but don’t know what happens when the mitigation company shows up and does the work. Paul Nicholson will show us the intricacies of radon mitigation, along with some additional valuable radon background information.

How many times have you received a call where you feel stuck, unprepared, or overwhelmed with an individual’s living environment? What resources, services, and skills do you possess or have access to offer these community members? The La Crosse County Health Department has developed an innovative way to understand and help to meet the needs of the people they serve. Many of the calls that we respond to are for filth/squalor/hoarding conditions. Quite often, we can help work through concerns without condemning the home. We have paired a Social Worker to respond to home visits for complaints with our Sanitarian Inspectors to address health and human hazard concerns. This unique blend of complaint response allows this team to manage each situation in a new and improved way. We hear the stories of how homes got to the state they are currently in, and look for natural supports, services, or resources to help them be successful in their space.
