Presenter: Glyn Jones, M.A.Sc, P.Eng, CIH, CRSP
Cost: Free

At some point in the past two years, we've all feared the unknown. At times, maybe we even feared each other. But the past few years have also taught us how to be more human, how to be supportive of each other, and how to use the lessons we've learned during the pandemic to improve our day-to-day lives.

For Glyn Jones, a consulting occupational health and safety professional and the host of this webinar, the pandemic taught him the importance of thinking more, talking less, and improving one's capacity for improved risk communication.

According to Glyn, risk communication leads us through a process where we examine the facts, identify the stakeholders, speak with the stakeholders, understand their bias, provide more information to them, and help them to adjust their bias to be more in line with the current thinking.

In this webinar, you will:

• Learn the foundations of risk communication 
• Use the pandemic as a case study and review what went well and what went wrong 
• Discuss concepts of risk versus safe, and how fear can be measured to guide strategies for better risk communication
