Provincial health and safety
committee is back in business
The joint
provincial health and safety committee at the LCBO is back in
business. On Sept. 22, 2006, the union met with the employer for the
first time since 2003.
The provincial occupational health and safety
committee is mandated by the collective agreement between OPSEU and
the LCBO. It’s a forum for the union and the employer to improve
health and safety in all LCBO workplaces by dealing with
province-wide issues and by helping workplace health and safety
representatives and committees.
Issues now under discussion include violence in the
workplace, ergonomic issues (i.e., the effects of lifting heavy
cases all day long), workplace asbestos, terms of reference for the
committee, and health and safety training.
The LCBO has agreed to provide health and safety
certification for all provincial health and safety committee
members. The employer also plans to distribute a health and safety
handbook to reps in smaller workplaces.
