The Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) are responsible for addressing the safety needs of both staff and students and our facilities. Worker representatives of the committee are elected by their union membership and managerial representatives are selected by their respective peers.
Committee responsibilities include the identification and reporting of hazardous conditions and situations through workplace inspections, making recommendations for the improvement of workplace conditions and procedures, the development, maintenance and monitoring of programs respecting the health and safety of our employees and students. The committee is also involved in other activities such as accident investigations and environmental testing. The committee meets on a monthly basis during the academic year. Concerns may be directed to any committee member at your campus.
