Falls are a leading cause of occupational injury. Therefore, the Chiropractic Health Care section, the Injury Control and Emergency Health Services section, and the Occupational Health and Safety section worked together to develop a joint session on fall prevention in the workplace. Speakers have been invited to address this important topic to share how their discipline works on fall prevention through epidemiological surveillance, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. The presentations will be followed with a moderated panel discussion on identifying current gaps in the literature and discussing action steps for future multidisciplinary collaborations to address fall prevention in the workplace.
Session Objectives: Discuss fall prevention in workers from various levels of prevention.
Explain health care issues related to fall management and prevention.
List collaborative actions to address falls in the workplace.
