Section 2 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

2. The health and safety committee shall determine the amount of time that one or all of the safety representatives of an establishment may devote to exercising the functions listed in paragraphs 1, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 of section 90 of the Act.

Where there is disagreement within the committee or where there is no committee, the time that one or all of the safety representatives of an establishment described in Schedule 1 may devote to those functions is as follows:

(1)  2 hours per week if the establishment has 20 workers or fewer and if a health and safety committee has been established under the second paragraph of section 69 of the Act;

(2)  3 hours per week if the establishment has 21 to 50 workers;

(3)  6 hours per week if the establishment has 51 to 100 workers;

(4)  10 hours per week if the establishment has 100 to 200 workers;

(5)  15 hours per week if the establishment has 201 to 300 workers;

(6)  18 hours per week if the establishment has 301 to 400 workers; or

(7)  21 hours per week if the establishment has 401 to 500 workers.

For establishments with more than 500 workers, 4 hours per week are added for each additional 100 workers.

Where a time allowance prescribed in a collective agreement to one or more workers’ representatives for the purposes of occupational health and safety is equivalent or more advantageous, it is deemed to have been determined by the health and safety committee.

The hours prescribed in the Regulation may not be added to those prescribed in the collective agreement or vice versa.
