Check out this very informal, unofficial guide, featuring advice from your CUPE 3903 Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) representatives about how to resolve environmental concerns in your workplace at York U!
The CUPE 3903 JHSC representatives have received multiple informal reports of unusually low & high temperatures in offices and poor air quality in certain classrooms. They have provided this flowchart to help navigate the often complicated resolution process for environmental health concerns. YUFA’s JHSC also has a similar document to this one, in case you’re a YUFA member with environmental safety concerns at work!
If you’re noticing that your workspace is too hot, too cold, or lacking airflow, it’s important to know what steps to take so that you can keep yourself and other workers as safe as possible. These steps include recording evidence, acting appropriately, and following up on the issue. You can click here and log-in to access information on York’s Indoor Air Quality Program. (Make sure to log in with your employee, not student, Passport York account!)
Please reach out to the CUPE 3903 JHSC email if you need further support on contacting the right people! Email them: jhsc@cupe3903.org
