SUMMARY:Level 1 Occupational Health and Safety Training
DESCRIPTION:The WHSC Occupational Health and Safety Level I program is inte
 nded for use by unions to train new joint committee members and health and
  safety representatives. Through the Level I program\, participants learn 
 and practice skills needed to promote and achieve prevention in the workpl
 ace. Upon completion of the program\, learners receive a Level I certifica
 te. The Level I program trains worker representatives to identify and figh
 t off behavioural-based management approaches and establish real preventio
 n programs that identify\, assess and control hazards. But workers do not 
 have the power to simply institute these programs\; employers hold the pow
 er in the workplace\, workers must bargain. These negotiations are both si
 milar and different than those typically carried out to establish a collec
 tive agreement. Like collective agreement bargaining\, there is a profound
  need to get information\, communicate with members\, build proposals and 
 apply leverage. However\, when it comes to health and safety\, there is no
  multi-year contract that defines the conditions of work. In all workplace
 s\, hazards changes regularly—even daily—and these changes to the cond
 itions of work usually take place without any consultation with workers. B
 ecause the employer can continuously and unilaterally change the hazards o
 f work\, worker representatives need to continuously bargain with employer
 s for improved prevention. The WHSC Level program trains worker representa
 tives to carry out this continuous bargaining mission. Over 20 modules hav
 e been developed by the WHSC at the introductory level for worker audience
 s—these are collectively referred to as Level I modules. Level I is a ce
 rtificate program and the prerequisite for entering Level II programs and 
 Instructor Training. To earn a Level I certificate a participant must comp
 lete seven core modules and three additional electives. The seven core mod
 ules are: 1. Staying Alive While Earning a Living 2. The Body In the Workp
 lace 3. Toxic Substances 4. Principles of Control 5. It’s the Law 6. The
  Myth of Worker Carelessness 7. Making Work Fit the Worker.
