If any of our local 1936 members that sit on their workplace JOHS committee want to find out more about Ergonomics than please reach out to Bernice Way, bway1936@gmail.com to be enrolled into the course below. Your wages would be covered if it falls on a scheduled day of work (this would be outside of the 8 hrs of training per year through your employer)
Recognized in October each year, Global Ergonomics Month is an international outreach campaign promoting human-centred design through the science, application and profession of ergonomics or human factors. These disciplines are focused on optimizing human well-being as well as overall system performance by proactively designing work and work systems to fit the people interfacing with them in ways that improve efficiency, productivity, health, safety and comfort. Ergonomics is ultimately good for business and good for people.
The Centre has scheduled a number of opportunities in October to take our virtual facilitator lead course:
Strains, Aches & Pains (Ergonomics)
This course is designed to provide OH&S Committee members with the knowledge and skills to identify and find effective solutions to ergonomic problems at the workplace.
In this course participants will:

3.27 Minimum training requirements for new joint committee members:
(2) The employer must ensure that each member of the employer’s joint committees who was selected on or after June 1, 2017 to be a member receives, as soon as practicable but no more than 6 months after becoming a member, a total of at least 8 hours of instruction and training, as set out in subsection (4).
(7) For greater certainty, the instruction and training required under subsection (2) or (3) of this regulation is not educational leave as set out in section 41 of the Workers Compensation Act.
Note: The 8-hour mandatory training requirement — “new joint committee members must receive the instruction and training required under section 3.27 of the Occupational Health & Safety Regulation (OHSR)” — is separate from the existing annual 8-hour educational leave assigned by section 41 of the Workers Compensation Act, “Each member of a joint committee is entitled to an annual educational leave totaling 8 hours […]”.
* New committee members are eligible to receive 16 hours of education in their first year.*
For more information see: JHSC Occupational Health and Safety Regulation Changes.
Funded by the Workers Compensation Board of British Columbia and hosted by the BC Federation of Labour, the BC Fed OH&S Centre is the largest provider of this type of training in the province.
The Federal government has proclaimed September 30th as a Truth and Reconciliation Statutory Day as one small act of reconciliation and acknowledgment of atrocities inflicted on the Indigenous, Inuit and Metis people of Canada.
While September 30th is frequently referred to as a Statutory Holiday, we ask that you refrain from referring to this day as a “holiday”. Instead, please think of this as a day of mourning in which we are to collectively remember our Indigenous comrades who have fallen, or experienced harm, as a result of the colonization, genocide and forcible removable of their children; many of whom were abused or who died while in residential schools.
The latest discoveries of children’s remains at various residential schools, including the Kamloops Residential School where 214 bodies were found, serve as a stark reminder of the legacy of colonization of Indigenous people in Canada.
Entire Indigenous nations and/or tribes were forcibly removed from their homes and land, and forced to live on assigned reserves where many continue to experience substandard living conditions without access to safe drinking and bathing water. Indigenous children as young as 4 and 5 were taken from their families and placed in residential schools where many endured emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Children died trying to escape these residential prisons or while living in the schools. Often families were not informed of a child’s passing and many children were secretly buried on school grounds.
The legacy and pain of colonization and forced institutionalization of Indigenous children remains. Institutional racism continues to impact our Indigenous comrades today.
On September 30th, please take time to remember the atrocities inflicted upon Indigenous people in Canada, and please support our Indigenous comrades who grieve all that has been lost as a result of these atrocities.
To our Indigenous comrades and members, on behalf of CUPE Local 1936, we extend a sincere apology for all that you and your families have endured. We stand with you as you mourn the impact of colonization, everyday, as well as on September 30th, a Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Should you require additional support, please call:
The Kuu-Us Crisis Line at (250)-723-2323, or
The Indian Residential School Survivors Society at (604)-985-4464
With sorrow,
Sheryl Burns, President, CUPE Local 1936
