Dear Colleagues,
TUC – Women Safety Reps Free Online Courses (July 2024): ‘An Introduction to the Role of Union Health and Safety Rep:’
The TUC have announced new, free to attend, online courses for women union members in July 2024.
The ‘free’ on-line, half-day, tutorial courses, entitled ‘An introduction to the role of union health and safety rep’ are aimed at encouraging women members to consider the role and becoming a Safety Rep and for those who are new Safety Reps.
Interested CWU Members are invited to register to attend.
This is a free, online introductory course, designed to introduce women members to the role, what it involves, and aims to make those attending have a better understanding of what a safety rep does, and why it’s such a vital role.
The course has been designed for women trade union members who have considered or have newly taken on the role of a Health and Safety Rep, and want to find out and know more about what the role involves and see if they wish to proceed to the full Health and Safety Reps’ staged training programme.
There will be an opportunity to discuss the different health and safety issues in the workplace. The course will consider how the safety rep role is approached and will cover the rights safety reps have in law, the concerns and questions women reps have about becoming a health and safety rep and detail the kinds of issues and campaigns that safety reps work on, and action they can take.
PLEASE NOTE: This is for women union members only because the TUC has identified that women members are under-represented in the role of health and safety reps.
This is an introductory ‘taster’ course which is not designed for experienced, established health and safety reps and this training will not qualify members as a safety rep.
This new, free, online introductory course is primarily for any woman who might be considering becoming a trade union health and safety representative or are very new to the role and who are motivated by the prospect of keeping themselves and union member colleagues safe, by helping prevent workplace illness and injury.
There are two Courses:
TUC tutor Jennifer Forbes will run the classes. There are two dates to choose from:
Tuesday 16th July, 14:00 – 17:00: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEpdeupqjgjGNWRixi7VhxAZRpCMXjy5aBq#/registration
Thursday 18th July, 10:00 – 13:00: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMlcuGhpzwjGtfYlgqrThFw4Ue7JMZskPE2#/registration
Yours sincerely
