Occupational Health & Safety Training for New Committee Members and Worker Reps
(90 minutes)
This workshop is designed for new members of Joint Occupational Health
and Safety Committees in their first six months on a committee. Effective
April 3, 2017, Worksafe BC regulations require all new members of committees
and worker reps to receive 8 hours of instruction on prescribed health and
safety topics (OHSR 3.27) . This workshop satisfies that requirement. The
content of the workshop also serves as a good back-to-basics refresher for
committee people, or as a SURT.
Note: The training prescribed for new committee people is outside of the
8 hour education educational leave entitled under Part3, Division 4, Section
135 of the Workers’ Compensation Act.
This workshop has
been adapted for online facilitation.
