OH&S Committees Clause Samples

The OH&S Committees clause establishes the requirement for forming Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) committees within a workplace. Typically, this clause outlines the composition, roles, and responsibilities of the committee, such as conducting regular meetings, reviewing workplace safety practices, and making recommendations to management. By mandating the creation and operation of these committees, the clause ensures ongoing employee participation in health and safety matters, helping to identify hazards and promote a safer work environment.
OH&S Committees. In accordance with the right of Sessional Academic Staff to participate in finding and controlling hazards at work, Sessional Academic Staff shall have representation on the Occupational Health and Safety Committees. The Sessional Academic Staff bargaining unit will have one representative per location on the Occupational Health and Safety Committee(s). The University will provide to the Sessional Academic Staff committee members access to a list-serve in order to communicate health and safety information. The role of each committee will be to receive concerns and complaints from Sessional Academic Staff Members on matters affecting health and safety of the workplace, gather information pertaining to the complaints, investigate, and make recommendations to management and the member for the resolution of the complaint. Complaints must be made in writing by the member, outlining the health or safety concern and proposed remedies, and sent to the Chair of the committee, with a copy to the Supervisor of Human Resources and the Faculty Association. The members of the committee (s) will receive training at the University’s expense. Such Training will be considered leave with pay. The committee(s) will investigate a complaint in accordance with the timelines established by the Saskatchewan Employment Act and The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and forward their report and recommendation for resolution of the complaint to the Supervisor of Human Resources, with a copy to the complainant and the Faculty Association. The University will consider time spent by Sessional Academic Staff Members on committee work as time worked, which shall be compensated at the Hourly Rate (Appendix A – Compensation). Every committee meeting will be recorded in its official minutes and copies will be posted on bulletin boards in the workplace, with copies forwarded to the Supervisor of Human Resources and the Faculty Association, and be made available for inspection upon request by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety. The committee(s) shall make quarterly reports to the University and the Faculty Association reporting all incidents or complaints that were filed and investigated, and the recommendation for the resolution. The University will distribute the reports throughout the University community. All correspondence will occur in accordance with Article 16 – Correspondence.
