WorkSafeNB will offer a new educational workshop called Occupational Health and Safety Fundamentals (OHSF) this fall.?? The workshop builds on the prerequisites of the three-day Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) core training.
It aims to provide trainers and health and safety co-ordinators with a basic working knowledge of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, as well as the basic theories underlying workplace health and safety, said Lisa Waugh, a WorkSafeNB education consultant. Waugh developed the workshop with fellow education consultant Nicole McLaughlin.??
“It takes a closer look at regulations, interpretations and the basics of compensation and the Meredith Principles, and shows participants how to develop a code of practice and prepare a health and safety plan. Participants receive a certificate after successfully completing the course,” she said.??
The workshop takes place over three consecutive Fridays. An English workshop is scheduled in Fredericton in October, and a French workshop takes place in Saint-Basile, N.B. the following month.
