Too often, residential solar installations force workers to face unique safety hazards in terms of roof conditions and panel installations. These safety hazards can expose workers to severe risks such as falling from heights, electrical shock, and manual handling risks. Prevention through Design (PtD) has significant potential to address and prevent such hazards during the design process. This seminar will present analyses of opportunities and impacts of applying PtD to residential solar in order to prevent injuries related to solar installation.
Date: Tuesday, November 8, 2022
Time: 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM PT/ 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM ET
Speakers: Laura Militello, M.A; Robyn Clay-Williams, BEng, Ph.D.; Nicole Yamada, M.D, M.S
Human error is human nature, so how can we as healthcare professionals, make it easier to get things right and harder to get things wrong? When we apply human factors approach to pediatric simulation, we refocus to gain a deeper understanding of design, systems and process that may hamper us in our attempt to deliver best care. Human factors science is complex and multifactorial. This symposium will provide a deeper understanding of human factors, reshape mind sets and better support safety and quality care of children. This event will be held virtually on Zoom. You can join us LIVE to have the chance to ask questions during the Q&A sessions. You can also access the recording ON-DEMAND for two weeks and still earn CE credits!
