H&S Representatives Sample Clauses

H&S Representatives. The scheduling of H&S worker representatives is typically done by the Union co-chairperson and timing of same is subject to the specific H&S issues . In many cases, the employer will not have advanced notification and it may be necessary to schedule the H&S representative without complying with the ESA and regulations . This will especially be true when the worker rep is responding to an emergent issue such as a work refusal or critical injury . In other cases, the employer may have sufficient advanced notification that options can be explored between the Manager and the worker representative . Among these will be the option of changing the worker representative’s work either on the shift before or the shift after the H&S assignment . The reasonable options to change work are acknowledged to be greater in the Operator classification where we have Spareboard, than they will be in classifications with fewer incumbents . The employer will endeavour to advise the Union in advance when there is sufficient advanced notice of the assignment and the scheduling of a H&S representative will result in non-com- pliance with the ESA and regulations, and no reasonable option is available to change the representative’s work before or after the assignment . The Union representative may then request a further meeting with the worker representative (as necessary, by phone) and management .
