Webinars

Our webinars provide a convenient option for new employee orientation, educating safety committees, or enhancing your company’s health and safety culture.

	Young Worker Safety: Changing the Culture Participants will learn about the significant influence supervisors can have on young worker health and safety, and how to make the best out of this. Participants will learn why young PEI workers are hesitant to raise their workplace safety concerns, and what they can do to encourage young workers to speak up.
	Workplace Safety for Supervisors Supervisors play a critical role in making sure their workplace is healthy and safe because they direct the work of others. This session will introduce participants to the concept of due diligence and inform them of the legal responsibilities supervisors have for worker health and safety.
	Health and Safety Committee Basics Did you know workplaces with 20 or more workers must have a Joint Occupational Health and Safety (JOHS) Committee? An effective JOHS Committee is a group of worker and employer representatives working together to promote health and safety in their workplace. This session will provide you with the information you need to establish a safety committee in your workplace, which meets the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
	Workplace Harassment Regulations Workplace harassment undermines a person's dignity and well-being. When not addressed, it can also lead to negative outcomes for the workplace, including absenteeism, stress, and decreased morale. This session will introduce participants to Workplace Harassment Regulations and outline the employer and worker responsibilities in establishing a workplace harassment policy.
