BC Fed young workers OH&S training sessions
Published by Patrick September 7th, 2006 in Health & Safety, Youth Tags: bc fed, health-and-safety, Youth.The BC Federation of Labour is seeking young workers (18-30 years old) to facilitate workshops in high schools about workplace health and safety. The goal of this Project is to educate workers and students about Occupational Health and Safety hazards and solutions and thereby contribute to preventing injuries, illnesses, diseases and deaths in BC workplaces. We currently seeking to identify young workers who are interested in facilitating these workshops. The goal is to have a diverse group of facilitators from across the province.
The BC Fed will provide the following:
- Training in Basic Occupational Health and Safety
- Training in facilitation skills, as well as tools to effectively deliver information to high school students
- Costs to cover travel and lost wages
- Because this Project is mandated to give educational sessions to high school students and young workers, participants will be asked to certify that they do not have a criminal record. They may be required to have a criminal record check depending upon the policy of the individual School Board. The Project will pay the cost for these checks.
Applications can be obtained from the BC Federation of Labour or by contacting the BC PSAC. Application deadline is Sept 20, 2006
