Occupational Health and Safety Overview

Health and SafetyThe Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC) currently meets regularly to discuss and make recommendations relating to health and safety in the workplace. The worker members on the JOHSC are present at the beginning of occupational health and safety testing, investigate critical injuries and attend work refusals.

Each school or worksite in the OCDSB has a non-management Safety Representative who completes a monthly inspection of the workplace. The principal/site supervisor has 21 calendar days to respond to hazards noted on the Inspection Report.

Should you have a concern about health and safety at your work site under the Occupational Health and Safety Act your responsibility is to report the concern to your principal. Document your concern on an Occupational Health and Safety Concern Form and keep a copy for your records. In the event of an accident, exposure or occupational illness complete a Worker's Accident Form.

For more information contact your OCETF Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee representative Lee-Anne Feltham.
