Avoiding a Wrong with Two Rights: Human Rights Vs. the Right to Safety

Human Rights Legislation and Safety Legislation do not always work harmoniously together. When conflict occurs, one must be careful to achieve the safety objective with a minimal impact to fundamental human rights. This seminar will discuss the major areas of conflict including: pre-employment medical testing and medical information, duty to accomodate disabilities, provision of programs in different languages, drug and alcohol testing, and PPE and religious practices.

Also, this seminar will acquaint you with the Human Rights Process and discuss strategies to ensure that you and your company are complying with the legislation.
