Health and safety

Health and safety is an essential part of the important work that CUPE and CUPE locals and
members do to ensure a safe and secure work and workplace environment for everyone. CUPE
members face a wide range of hazards while on the job. Worker involvement is the real key to
resolving health and safety problems because front line workers have a unique understanding of
health and safety hazards in the workplace. Remember – you have the right to refuse unsafe work.

If you experiencing any violence or workplace health and safety issues please contact the representative at your workplace:
