Health and Safety

Health and Safety is fundamental; all members need to ensure a safe and secure workplace by reporting any incidents to the employer and your union health and safety representative. Since CUPE 1287 is a composite local, each unit has their own incident report.

Why should you complete an incident report form

  1. It is the first step to address your concerns – from violence in the workplace to equipment malfunctioning
  2. It is key to keep a record of the concerns – this makes the employer accountable to follow through
  3. It is the base for other processes – the forms can be used in the future to backup WSIB or LTD applications.
  4. Because members should be able to go to work and come back home safely – violence is not acceptable and we must not normalize it.
