Occupational Health and Safety Survey

The CUPE BC Occupational Health & Safety Committee has heard overwhelming concerns from members across B.C. – about their struggles to deal with issues such as unsafe working conditions, violence in the workplace, working alone, and risk to young workers.

Because many workplace committees are struggling to get their voices heard in the workplace, it’s important that all locals and sectors participate in this survey.

The survey was launched at the CUPE BC Division Convention in Victoria last month. It covers a wide range of safety issues.

The easiest way to do this survey is online! It’s quick, easy, and confidential. Online Survey
