HSAA’s objective is to have our members return home safe to their respective families, each and every day. HSAA has an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Officer who helps to educate members and lobby various levels of government to ensure this happens. Joanne Monro has been impacting OH&S across Alberta for more than 25 years.
This section provides an overview of information you need to be an effective OH&S Representative for Health Sciences: Alberta OH&S legislation; Hazard assessments; How to be an effective union representative; Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees and Effective workplace inspections. We’ve also included quick links to selected parts of the Code and Code Explanation Guide.
A series of Best Practices Guidelines for OHS in the Healthcare Industry is now complete. The final installments, Best Practices for the Assessment and Control of Psychological Hazards and an eLearning awareness program, are now available.
