Help make your workplace safe! Fall 2010 OH&S Steward Training
HSA is offering a 2-day OH&S steward workshop this fall:
Date: November 8 & 9, 2010
Location: HSA Office, 300 ... 5118 Joyce Street, Vancouver
Occupational health and safety issues are very important to HSA members, and OH&S stewards play a vital role in promoting a safe work environment and helping to prevent injuries. These workshops are participatory and discussion oriented. We encourage you to bring examples from your workplace for discussion. Please refer to the attached pre-registration form for further details.
Priority will be given to new HSA OH&S stewards and to OH&S stewards who have not previously attended HSA OH&S workshops. Workshop participants will discuss:
• rights and responsibilities of safety stewards
• role of the WCB
• role of the new occupational health and safety regulations
• accident investigation / prevention
• workload/stress
• violence in the workplace
• musculoskeletal injuries
Deadlines for Registration: Monday, October 18, 2010
Eligible stewards should complete a pre-registration form and return it to the HSA office (Attention: Leila Lolua) as soon as possible, or by the deadline above. HSA will call you to confirm your registration.
