What You'll Learn
- 3 Fundamental Health and Safety Rights associated with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Act and Part II of the Canada Labour Code:
- The Right to Know about the hazards in your workplace. Employees have the right to be informed of known or foreseeable hazards in the workplace and to be provided with the information, instruction, training and supervision necessary to protect their health and safety.
- The Right to Participate in assessing and controlling the hazards in your workplace. This 2nd right gives workers important rights to participate in activities to ensure their protection from job hazards.
- The Right to Refuse Unsafe / Dangerous Work is the most important of the 3 fundamental health and safety rights as it grants employees the right to stand down when faced with a potentially dangerous work situation. This right protects workers from employer reprisals should they refuse to perform a potentially dangerous work task.
- Safety Leadership Styles they may to adopt for their own personal safety leadership approach in their workplace. A range of safety leadership styles covering the ‘how to’ and ‘how not to’ lead others in safety are explored in this course.
- Safety Communication Styles they can use to be more effective in relaying important safety messaging to co-workers. For example: being more forthright in communicating safety issues; avoiding mitigated speech (aka sugarcoating); the impacts of tone, condescension, mockery etc. in person-to-person safety messaging.
- Mitigated Speech . Examining the causes of plane crashes over the past 30 years due to the use of mitigated speech in cockpit safety communications.
