Don’t waste it at work. \nToo often\, occupational health and safety problems result from poor work organization\, an inadequate workplace\, or a failure to take into account workplace constraints. \nDid You Know? \nThe role of occupational health and safety representatives is to ensure prevention and protect employees’ rights in matters of occupational health and safety. \nPioneers \nThe matchmakers at the E. B. Eddy factory in Hull worked in appalling conditions at the beginning of the 20th century. Their two historic strikes made them pioneers in occupational health and safety. \nDraw the Right OHS Card \nConcrete actions must be taken at all times to ensure the protection of all workers and improve working conditions. \nAnd to win this game\, unions are one of the essential cards. \nA vibrant union life and the establishment of a balance of power require employers to go beyond being the two of spades and ensure that they take prevention seriously. \nFor the CSN’s National Occupational Health and Safety Week\, draw the right OHS card! \n DOWNLOAD THE TOOLKIT\n(Posters\, Banners and Cards) \n \nON NE DOIT PAS JOUER AVEC LA SST\nVous n’avez qu’une seule vie.

B. Eddy à Hull travaillaient dans des conditions exécrables au début du XXe siècle. Leurs deux grèves historiques en ont fait des pionnières en santé et sécurité du travail.  \n\n\nTirez la bonne carte de la SST\n\n\n\n\nEn tout temps\, des actions concrètes doivent être entreprises pour assurer la protection de toutes les travailleuses et de tous les travailleurs et pour améliorer les conditions d’emploi. \nEt pour gagner cette partie\, les syndicats font partie des cartes incontournables.   \nUne vie syndicale dynamique et l’établissement d’un rapport de force contraignent les patrons à ne pas se contenter d’être des deux de pique et d’assurer qu’ils prennent la prévention au sérieux. \nPour la Semaine nationale de la santé et de la sécurité du travail de la CSN\, tirez la bonne carte de la SST ! \n OUTILS À TÉLÉCHARGER\n  URL:https://appa.qc.ca/emsb/event/csn-national-occupational-health-and-safety-week/ LOCATION:QC CATEGORIES:Health & Safety ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://appa.qc.ca/emsb/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/EN_FB-851x315px_CSN_SST25-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251013 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251014 DTSTAMP:20260430T122843 CREATED:20230621T195310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250913T191757Z UID:10215-1760313600-1760399999@appa.qc.ca SUMMARY:Thanksgiving | Action de grâce DESCRIPTION:Big thanks to all our members for everything you do – you make a difference every single day!
