Join us in Vancouver BC to hear two of the world's preeminent risk communications experts address issues of utmost importance to environmental health and safety professionals. In this two-day interactive workshop, Drs. Peter M. Sandman and Jody Lanard will take the audience through the spectrum of risk communication challenges: warning people about serious risks they are ignoring, reassuring them about small risks they are worried about, and guiding them through serious risks they are rightly worried about. More about the speakers here: http://www.psandman.com.
This workshop will allow participants to apply the three risk communication paradigms to local, provincial or national risk issues and to learn risk communication strategies to cope with each of these paradigms.
