Help Keep Your Workplace Safe: Join the Joint Health and Safety Committee


August 5, 2022

To: MoveUP Members at Seaspan ULC


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 one union committee member and an alternate.  There is a sense of urgency as training is being planned for all members and alternates the second week of September.

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 time you spend on committee business is paid for by the employer.  Every new committee member is required to receive training as soon as possible. In addition, all committee members are entitled to eight (8) hours of education leave each year. All of this training is paid fully by the employer, including your time away from work, the course costs, and all reasonable expenses.

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, Lori Mayhew, as outlined in our constitution.

In solidarity,

Christy Slusarenko, Vice-President, Combined Units
