Development and Evaluation of a WISHA10 Cannabis Training Module

Juliana Moreno

Cannabis workers trim, harvest, package, and process plant material in ways that can expose them to a variety of hazards, like respiratory and ergonomic risks, that often go unnoticed. This presentation brings visibility to those risks, drawing on early lessons from developing a cannabis-specific WISHA10 training module designed to strengthen health and safety practices across this rapidly growing and unique industry. The findings from this project are relevant to improving health, safety, and equity for cannabis workers statewide. Time will be allotted for questions.
