2007 PSAC National Health and Safety Conference - “Regulation Works!â€
Conference objectives
- The objectives of the 2007 PSAC National Health and Safety Conference are:
- To outline the current government and employer agenda which includes deregulation and to demonstrate how it will affect our health, safety and environmental rights.
- To develop a union agenda to counter the move towards deregulation of health, safety and environmental protections and employer voluntary compliance.
- To expose the misrepresentation behind the current “behavioural-based safety programs” being promoted by employers which rework the classic “blame the worker” theory.
- To develop union tactics to counter the “myth of the careless worker”.
- To examine the current state of enforcement of health and safety legislation in order to develop union-based strategies that will better protect workers.
The conference will take place January 19-21, 2007 in Ottawa. The registration deadline is October 5th and the resolutions submission deadline is October 20th.
