MIGRANT/FOREIGN WORKER OH&S EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS
The goal of these three-hour educational sessions is to provide migrant or foreign workers with basic OH&S information on workers' rights and responsibilities, employer responsibilities, OH&S Committees, role of WCB and hazard identification. Course materials are translated and facilitated in the workers' first language, bilingual facilitators taking the lead role and translating for Centre staff. The sessions are designed using the popular education model, encouraging worker participation.
The feedback from participants in previous sessions has been very positive. They are most interested in their OH&S rights and were surprised to hear that they do have OH&S rights. They have never been informed, prior to this session, that they have these rights as workers in BC.
Centre staff organize and co-facilitate these sessions.
For further information on the Migrant/Foreign Worker program, please contact: Director, BCFED Health & Safety Centre, 604-430-1421, or email ohsadmin@bcfed.ca.
Not part of eight-hour training, and there is no charge to the workers.
