Our Mandate

  • Foster and promote health and safety to all our units within the scope of our Local 2002.
  • Facilitate the exchange information and ideas on matters within our jurisdiction and to encourage and foster education and programs to make our representative more involved in all aspects of health and safety consciousness.

  

Role of the Department

  • Provide unbiased, relevant information and advice that supports responsible decision-making and promotes safe and healthy working environments.
  • Provide training or direction that will increase the knowledge base of our representatives.

  

What we offer

  • From the simple steps of beginning the internal complaint resolution process or acknowledging the many health and safety concerns of our members, to handling and guiding the members in the "Right to Refuse” process of both the Provincial and Federal jurisdiction.
  • All 3 coordinators are available 24/7 to meet the needs of a growing membership, and to offer steady guidance on all the developments that our  representative will encounter on a daily basis.
