Slip, trip, and fall hazards are considered ‘high-risk’ hazards for our PSWs and Homemakers due to various factors such as slippery surfaces (client bathrooms, kitchen floors), seasonal environmental conditions (extreme snow, ice, rain), and increased time spent walking in the community.
Our Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) has developed an e-learning module focused on increasing awareness of slip, trip and fall hazards and on how to ensure these hazards are controlled or minimized.
We would ask that all employees complete this mandatory e-learning module by November 1, 2023. You have all been enrolled in the Dayforce e-learning and have access to the module. All employees that complete the mandatory e-learning will receive 30 minutes of paid training time (which will be paid out in November).
UPDATE: Course is now closed.
