Health & Safety
The role of the Joint Occupational Health & Safety (OH & S) Committee is to address health and safety concerns in the workplace.
The Committee has representatives from Parks, Recreation & Culture, Public Works, Municipal Hall and Mission Fire/Rescue Service that meet on a monthly basis to discuss job-site concerns and resolutions. Yearly training is provided to update and refresh committee members on correct procedures and requirements.
Committee members are involved with, and updated on, all injury reports, accident investigations and worksite safety inspections for the District of Mission. The Committee consists of a minimum two union employees, a management representative, the health & safety consultant and designated alternates.
Please contact Joan McPherson, CUPE Local 1267 Vice-President and Health & Safety Officer, if you have any work related health and safety questions, concerns or issues.
