Prevention of Musculoskeletal Injuries. The Parties agree that there is a shared interest in eliminating and/or minimizing hazards that cause musculoskeletal injuries and illnesses. Occupational Health and Safety Committees will identify and assist the Employer in the musculoskeletal injury risks. All residents will be assessed to determine the appropriate lift, transfer, or repositioning technique to be used. No physical lifting of residents will occur if the risk assessment indicates that to do so would be hazardous to the Employee. When new equipment will be introduced to the workplace, or during the design and planning stages of new or renovated workplaces or workstations, the Employer shall seek appropriate advice with respect to the risk factors noted in B) and eliminate and/or minimize identified risk factors. Advice will be sought from resources that will include the Occupational Health and Safety Committee, and the employees who will be working in the new or renovated area, and/or using the workstation or equipment.
