CCTA Health & Safety Executive Chair 2021-2022: Anna Donaldson email: [email protected] We are workers under the Workers Compensation Act with the same rights as all workers in BC: The Right to Know All workers have the right to know what hazards exist in the workplace. This includes all physical and mental hazards. This also includes hazards such as risk of violence; for example, whether there are students with safety plans to mitigate their violent behavior. We have the right to know about air quality, what to do in an emergency, if there are any hazards for example, in building renovations and who to contact. The Right to Participate All workers have the right to participate in Occupational Health and Safety activities in the workplace. This right includes being able to participate in the Joint Health and Safety (JOHS) Committee, and to report hazards and injuries. The Right to Refuse All workers have the right to refuse work that is hazardous. The Right to No Discrimination All workers have the right to be free from reprisal for refusing unsafe work or contacting WCB. It is important to report any incidents that happen to us regardless of whether we're hurt or not and how to report using the correct forms. If you have any questions about H&S, please email Anna.
