Province-Wide Health and Safety Workshops
The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) and the Workers
Health and Safety Centre (WHSC) are offering free 3-hour
workshops for health and safety representatives and committee
members in 26 communities across Ontario from
May 1-4, 2006.
The sessions are open to members of joint health and safety
committees, health and safety representatives, union stewards or
local union leaders, or workers who are interested in knowing
more about joint committees and the context in which they
operate. Participants will also learn how the WHSC can support
local health and safety committees.
Participants will discuss:
· Joint
Health and Safety Committees’ functions and powers,
· Strategies
for making committees work,
· Changes
to provincial and federal health and safety enforcement tools
(legislation, including Ontario’s new confined space regulations
and the new requirements for hazard prevention program for
federally regulated workplaces, plus regulations and other
information a Ministry of Labour inspector may reference when
considering orders).
