Ageing workforce changes health and safety focus

The Pulp and Paper Health and Safety Association (PPHSA) often sees reoccurrence or aggravation of an injury that happened years earlier. Ergonomic injuries, where the worker does not work well in his environment, kept employees off the job most, causing the most lost time claims. The Association designs programs to help get workers working safely. It provides health and safety related services to support workplaces to become more self reliant in health and safety. The association also seeks to increase the recognition of its work and to increase its membership.
