Occupational Health and Safety Resources

If you run into issues at the workplace whether it be injuries, near misses, incidents, questions or concerns please refer to your workplace health and safety board at your shop, if your shop does not have a OHS board, please request your supervisor to have one installed.

Filling out the requisite paperwork if an incident occurs is vital to alerting the JOHS committee if an investigation/inspection is required
