Region 5 Worker Safety Engagement Tour

EDUCATION

The OPSEU/SEFPO Worker Safety Unit is excited and pleased to share with you this announcement and information about a brand new and dynamic project that will be coming to your local OPSEU/SEFPO Regional Office VERY SOON.

The Worker Safety Engagement Tour will be visiting the North York (155 Lesmill Rd) November 14th 1pm – 8pm Downtown (31 Wellesley St E, Toronto, ON) November 15th 1pm – 8pm

The Worker Safety Engagement Tour aims to introduce a boost of energy, bring information, and support the work of the Union, by providing more resources and personal interaction in the vital areas of Health and Safety, WSIB benefits (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board), Pensions and Insured Benefits closer to OPSEU/SEFPO members – WHERE THEY WORK AND LIVE

The Worker Safety Engagement Tour will be bringing a team of three (3) of our very own expert OPSEU/SEFPO staff from the Health and Safety, Pensions & Benefits, and WSIB units to meet and greet members from ALL SECTORS and all OPSEU/SEFPO Regional Staff.

Members and Staff are encouraged to come out to discuss any related topic you want. 

For example:

  • How to fire up your Local Joint Health and Safety Committee. 
  • How does the right to refuse unsafe work operate in a particular job. 
  • How to navigate or negotiate on pensions. 
  • How to help members when a benefits, Long-Term Disability claim.
  • What do I do if a WSIB claim is denied.

 

And so much more!
