Foundational: Health & Safety Essentials
May 1, 2024 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Keeping everyone safe at work
In this course, Health & Safety committee members and stewards will learn more about their rights and responsibilities for keeping everyone safe at work. The course will revolve around exploring workers’ four key health & safety rights: the right to refuse unsafe work, the right to know about potential hazards, the right to participate in OHS activities, and the right to no discrimination. Participants will leave the course with a variety of resources and checklists to better address any safety concerns at work.
Note: The session on May 1 will be tailored to workers in community health and home support.
