Do you have a passion for workplace health and safety?
HEU is inviting interested members from the Facilities Subsector working in the health authorities and Providence Health Care to apply to be an HEU member representative on newly established Regional Joint OHS Committees.
Background
In 2025, the Facilities Bargaining Association (FBA) negotiated a two-year project where each health authority will pilot one Regional Occupational Health and Safety Committee that consolidates existing specialized committees.
The new committees will provide guidance and recommendations on occupational health and safety, psychological health and safety, and violence prevention policies, procedures, training, risk assessment and corrective actions.
Each committee will have one FBA HEU member representative, and an alternate.
Candidates must have:
- A passion for occupational health and safety, violence prevention, and/or workplace psychological health and safety
- Minimum of one (1) year of experience as a JOHSC worker representative or equivalent within the last five (5) years
- Additional health and safety training is an asset
- Ability to use digital tools and virtual meeting platforms is an asset.
Your role
- Share your experiences and examples of health and safety concerns in your work, and for colleagues at your workplace
- Share your insights on how effective the employer’s safety measures are and what else is needed
The commitment
- To fulfill the FBA HEU member role for a two-year term
- To participate in the Regional Joint OHS Committee meetings, to be held at least quarterly
- To participate in preparation meetings with an assigned HEU OHS Staff Representative
- The length of the meetings is to be determined. Your participation is employer paid time.
