The Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee
(JOHSC) 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 Site in the OCDSB has a non-management Worksite
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. For other Health and Safety related
forms please go to Health and Safety Forms.
For more information contact your OCETF Joint Occupational
Health and Safety Committee representative Lee-Anne
Feltham.
