Work Health and Safety Committee
The Work Health and Safety (WHS) Committee facilitates consultation between PWSS, Finance, and MOP(S) Act employees. The Committee works together on a broad range of work health and safety issues, including developing work health and safety policies.
Work health and safety Committee members
The Committee is made up of Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) from each workgroup. Workgroups are based on party lines with the numbers of HSRs for each workgroup proportionate to the number of employee positions in the workgroup. The Committee also includes union and management representatives.
Refer to resources section for the Terms of Reference and information regarding the role of Committee members and Health and Safety Representatives.
