National Joint Occupational Safety and Health Policy Committees
CEUDA and other Unions meet
with senior management teams of the Canada
Revenue Agency, and of the Canada Border
Services Agency, to take a more strategic approach to health and safety in
an organization by dealing with global issues. Meetings are to take
place four times per year at what are called NJOSH Policy Committee
meetings. The
Canada Labour Code, Part II, mandates employers
with more than 300 employees to establish Policy Committees
to:
- assist in the development of health and safety policies
and programs;
- deal with matters raised by members and those referred
to it by a work place committee or health and safety representative;
- participate in the development and monitoring of a
program for the prevention of work place hazards, according to
regulations, that also provides for the health and safety education of
employees;
- participate in inquiries, studies, investigations and
inspections as it considers necessary;
- monitor data on work accidents, injuries and health
hazards;
- participate in the development and monitoring of a
program, if any, for the provision of personal protective equipment,
clothing, devices or materials; and
- participate in the planning of the implementation, and
in the actual implementation, of changes that may affect health and
safety, including work processes and procedures.
