Description:

The UNW will be holding its annual Occupational Health & Safety Conference this coming September with the goal of equipping our Occupational Health & Safety representatives with strategies and tools to use their rights and effectively communicate with their Employers to achieve timely resolution to Health & Safety issues in the workplace.

Conference participants will:

  • discuss the current state of Joint & Workplace Health & Safety Committees in their work sites and identify areas of concern and persistent issues
  • learn about and receive and review tools they can use with their Health and Safety Committees

Being a workplace Health & Safety representative is a challenging and rewarding way to make a meaningful contribution to the health & safety of your workplace and the lives of your co-workers. It is a critical aspect of the strength of the union in the workplace.  We want to provide you with the training you need to feel confident and the chance to network with fellow members to advance Health & Safety matters in the workplace.

We invite you to join us for 2 days of workshops, discussion, and collaboration on November 22, 23, 2024 in Yellowknife.

Members must be current Occupational Health & Safety Co-Chairs or willing to take on that role at the conclusion of the Conference.  Members will also be required to have 2 Local Executive Officers sign off on your application.
