Blenheim: CPD Event - Occupational Health Update with Dr Mary Obele
Insights on evolving occupational health risks
John us in Blenheim for a thought-provoking and practical session with Dr Mary Obele, Specialist Occupational and Environmental Medicine Physician.
Occupational health is changing rapidly. New workplace exposures, evolving medical treatments, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and growing expectations around worker wellbeing are creating fresh challenges for health and safety professionals. Drawing on more than two decades of experience across construction, mining, quarrying, transport, manufacturing, emergency services, and primary industries, Dr Obele will share insights from the frontline of occupational medicine and discuss the issues shaping workplace health today.
Topics will include:
- Workplace impairment: fitness for work, risk management, and emerging employer obligations
- Silica exposure and silicosis: lessons learned, current developments, and what organisations need to be doing now
- Emerging occupational health risks: identifying and managing health hazards before they become workplace crises
- The future of occupational health practice: trends, challenges, and opportunities for health and safety leaders
This session will provide practical guidance, real-world examples, and lots of opportunities for discussion on some of the most significant occupational health issues facing New Zealand workplaces.
