Article 30: Occupational Health and Safety

30.01

The Employer and PAR-BC agree to work together in the promotion of safe working conditions, prevention of workplace injuries and the promotion of safe work practices.

The Employer and PAR-BC will work together to ensure that Residents have clarity with respect to how to access appropriate Occupational Health Services in the event of work related injury or illness.

Where a Resident reports an illness or injury to the Employer, the Resident will be treated the same as other employees at the worksite where the incident occurred for all purposes relating to the illness or injury, including first aid eligibility and treatment at the worksite, and workers compensation arising from the illness or injury.
