A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:

Workplace health and safety is a priority at Camosun. Our human resources department holds the Health and Wellness area which is responsible for promoting and supporting employee health in the workplace. Some of the work that this area does or oversees includes first aid coordination, WHIMIS and disposal of hazardous waste, workplace ergonomics, sent policy as well as other resources. The health and safety program is supported by the Joint Occupational Safety and Health Committee (JOSH.) The JOSH committee is composed of people who represent the employer and all employee areas including schools/divisions, services, unions, and faculty. Student representatives are also encouraged to participate. People from all levels of our organization are involved in assuring everything possible is done to address safety and health concerns, brought together by a common goal to improve conditions in the workplace. The Committee promotes the concept of workers and employers sharing the responsibility for safety and health at the College. It also recognizes and supports workers’ rights subject to the Workers Compensation Act and WorkSafeBC’s Occupational Health & Safety Regulation in the following areas (Right to Participate, Right to Know and Right to Refuse Unsafe Work.
