SAFETY AND HUMAN RIGHTS. (a) It is mutually agreed by both the Employer and the Union that they shall comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations for Construction Projects, as amended from time to time. (b) It is mutually agreed by both the Employer and the Union that they shall comply with the Ontario Human Rights Code. (c) The parties agree that it is in their collective best interest to have union members properly trained in accordance with prescribed regulations, both federal and provincial. The Parties agree that they will endeavor to cooperate to ensure that all Union members are properly trained. To this end, as of May 1, 2016, Employers shall be responsible for making sure that their current Employees have the requisite training. In additional, as of May 1, 2016 the Local Union shall be responsible for making sure that their union members have the requisite and current general industry training (including but not limited to Fall Arrest, WHMIS, Five Point Hazard Awareness) and as of April 1st, 2017 Working at Heights and shall not refer any member for employment without such training. This obligation does not apply to site-specific training including, but not limited to confined-space certification. Should an Employer wish to send their current employees for recertification/retraining for the requisite and current general training referred to above, to be provided by the Union, they shall pay the Local Union an amount of fifty dollars ($50) per employee, for such recertification/retraining. If the Employer should choose to train their current employees themselves by the use of a third-party trainer, then the Employer has to notify the Union and OBBC in a timely fashion. The Parties agree that it is desirable to have access to a database that would enable the Union, its Locals and OBBC to have the information available to ensure that members have the required training. To facilitate this, every employer is required to provide OBBC with a list of Union members that have received training while employed, a copy of any certificate and the expiry date of such certificate. OBBC agrees to share this information with the Union in order to facilitate such database. OBBC agrees that it will issue a bulletin semi-annually to its membership reminding its members of the need to utilize proper safety measures when engaged in dry cutting.
