On August 14th, signs went up at on of our worksites at Cool Aid showing that air quality tests had been done and the results came back as unsafe!
 
What does this mean for us as workers, and what are the next steps to ensure improved air quality everyone including the residents that call this site home?
 
On September 28th at 7pm please join us in person or on zoom to learn about your rights, discuss your experiences, and brainstorm solutions to keep us all safer!
 
At this meeting we will be covering:

• A presentation from the BCGEU OHS Department Reviewing Air Quality Rights and Solutions
• When and how to report air quality issues: connecting with OHS, Incident Reports, etc. 

After these presentations we will be having an open forum for questions, concerns, and knowledge sharing. Please RSVP http://events.bcgeu.ca/cool_aid_air_quality_meeting

 
If the indoor air quality at your workplace is affecting your ability to work safely, you have the right to refuse unsafe work.
