1-‐Day Training Workshop November 24th 2015: Vancouver, Canada International standards, such as the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standard 4 on Community Health, Safety & Security have been developed to recognize community health as a major risk for large-scale development projects. However, implementing and managing community health risk and impact assessments, monitoring programs, management plans and investment initiatives can be a serious challenge for corporate directors, operations managers and staff due to gaps in knowledge and best practice. Monkey Forest Consulting Ltd. is a small, specialized firm. We work on complex projects in challenging settings and effectively help our clients (international finance institutions, companies and communities) manage risk. This one-day workshop aims to bring together industry managers, front-line staff, regulators, consultants and other interested parties to enhance knowledge and build professional capacity on the following topics:
• Assessing and identifying community health and safety risks • Understanding the linkage between occupational and
community health • Developing and implementing community health and safety
management plans • Personal case examples of successful community health and
safety mitigation measures, monitoring programs and strategic health investment programs
