Lunch-and-learn workshop to focus on workplace inspections

WELLINGTON – May 19, 2017 – Employers, business owners, managers, supervisors and safety committee members are invited to attend a lunch-and-learn workshop on Occupational Health & Safety workplace inspections being delivered by the Workers Compensation Board of PEI Tuesday, June 13, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the Wellington Rural Action Centre. A light meal is included.

The hour-long session, which will be presented in English, will introduce the components of effective workplace inspections. Inspections are a planned comprehensive walk-through of an entire area of the workplace.

The goal is to identify potential hazards in a given scenario and be proactive in order to prevent incidents. What to look for and what to do when a hazard is identified will be reviewed and discussed.

The Wellington Rural Action Centre and the Acadian and Francophone Chamber of Commerce are joining forces to offer this session. Admission is $5 for Chamber members and $10 for non-members.

Those interested in attending must register no later than Friday, June 9, by contacting Velma Robichaud at 902-854-3439, Ext. 228, or velma@rdeeipe.org.
