CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the 2009 PSAC National Health and Safety Conference are to:
- Examine the current state of enforcement of health and safety legislation in order to develop union-based strategies that will better protect workers.
- Strengthen the ability, knowledge and effectiveness of all PSAC activists on union and joint health and safety committees to better mobilize members around workplace issues.
- Increase the involvement of health, safety and environmental activists in the “Think Public” campaign and to join with coalitions working to defend and advance our rights.
- Better identify harassment and discuss what makes harassment a health and safety issue and propose specific preventive measures and responses that unions can take to prevent and deal with harassment at work.
- Make the connections between “The Environment” and health and safety, and propose actions that Locals and health and safety activists can do about “The Environment” in their workplaces and communities.
