CPWR Physicians’ Alerts: Short Guides to Talking to Your Medical Provider about Work-Related Hazards
January 25, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Medical providers may overlook work-related conditions construction workers face if they are not familiar with patients’ work history and exposure to hazards. To help workers get treatment they need, CPWR has created a series of Physicians’ Alerts that facilitate direct conversations between patient and provider. The alerts cover topics such as contact dermatitis, silica-related illnesses, pain management (opioids), work-related asthma, and the newest addition – pregnant worker safety and health. Each helps workers share knowledge about on-the-job hazards so their providers can better factor in information critical to providing proper diagnoses, treatment, and workplace accommodations. The Alerts also contain best practices to prevent and mitigate exposure-related conditions. Learn about these FREE resources, as well as the new work-related task lists by construction occupation that can be used alongside the alerts, in this short webinar.
