Safety Council
On Oct, 23 Jared Cass, director of occupational medicine and employee health with Avita Health System, will present Emotional Intelligence and Ergonomics to the Wooster Area Safety Council.
Results of recent studies have indicated the relationship between occupational health and safety management practices and safety performance can be linked to emotional intelligence. In theory workers with high-level EI are likely to cope with occupational health and safety lapses or safety-related challenges by participating and complying with the organization’s safety management practices. These employees are likely to exhibit safe working behaviors and contribute to improving safety performance in the workplace.
The meeting will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bruch Hall inside First Presbyterian Church, 621 College Ave., Wooster. For more information or to register, visit www.woosterchamber.com/wooster-area-safety-council.

On Oct. 22 the chamber invites the community to the grand opening and ribbon cutting at Moore Therapy, 2056 Portage Road 6, Wooster. The grand opening will be from 3-6 p.m. with the ribbon cutting at 4 p.m.
