You are entitled to a minimum of 8 hours of annual OH&S training, as mandated by the Workers Compensation Act, Section 41. In addition, within your first 6 months of being appointed as an OH&S representative, you must receive 8 hours of Basic OH&S Training (OHS Regulations, Section 3.27). Our “Basic OH&S Committee Training” course fulfills the requirements for the initial training.

You must have approval from your employer prior to applying for this EMPLOYER PAID training. We are unable to provide a union paid LOA for this course.

Anti-bullying and Harassment Training (8 Hours)
Bullying has become such a concern that government, unions and workplaces are recognizing the issue of bullying must be dealt with. We now have legislation, and many organizations have policy and/or collective agreement language, but we need training to fully understand the issue of bullying and what to do about it as workers, as employers and as a union. This course will educate and provide you with the skills to address bullying in the workplace in order to make it a safe and comfortable place to work. 

In this course, you will learn:

  • Definition of what is bullying and what is not considered bullying
  • Causes of bullying
  • Legal requirements – Workers Compensation Board and collective agreement language
  • How to address the issue
  • Social media and cyber-bullying or harassment
  • Prevention strategies and actions

Space is limited, so register early to avoid disappointment.

The BCGEU invites and encourages employer representatives, to attend BCGEU OHS training courses. Please share this registration link with your employer and co-committee members, even from other unions.
