Our Mandate
We are here to keep our workplace safe and healthy.
As your Health and Safety Representatives, we sit on the Workplace Health and Safety Committee (WPC). The WPC addresses health and safety issues. We work jointly with the company to provide them with recommendations to prevent injuries and illnesses. (Canada Labour Code, Part II, 135).
The Health Safety Chair sits on both the WPC and the Policy Committee (PC). The PC is made up of the Health and Safety Chairs of each base and employer representatives. It ensures there is health and safety policy consistency across the bases. (Canada Labour Code, Part II, 134.1).
We are governed by the Canada Labour Code (CLC), the Aviation Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (AOSH), and the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (COHS).

We are here to help you!
