Alpine Counselling Clinic – Join the Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee (JOHSC)
March 17, 2025
To: All MoveUP members at Alpine Counselling Clinic
The Joint Worksite Occupational Health and Safety Committee needs your help. This committee is made up of both union members and management who ensure your office/worksite is a safe and healthy environment in which to work. We need two (2) union committee members.
In accordance with Workers’ Compensation Act, Division 4, Joint Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) meetings will take place every month to identify and make recommendations that correct unsafe and unhealthy work environments. You will conduct worksite inspections and participate in any investigations or inquiries of the workplace.
The union representatives on the Health and Safety Committee shall be entitled to eight (8) hours annually of paid educational leave to attend seminars, workshops, and/or training sessions for instruction and/or upgrading on health and safety matters. In addition to annual training, all new Health and Safety Committee members shall receive eight (8) hours on mandatory introductory training.
If you are interested in joining your Joint Worksite Occupational Health and Safety Committee or would like more information about what is involved in being on this committee, please contact me at cslusarenko@moveuptogether.ca.
All bargaining unit committee members are appointed by our union’s president, Annette Toth, as outlined in our constitution.
In solidarity,
Christy Slusarenko, MoveUP Vice-President, Combined Units
Sara Colliss, Union Representative
