4.
WHMIS UPDATE
No updates were
received. The two employees in Maintenance require WHMIS training and will be
scheduled.
A Worker Rep
expressed that the Committee should know when the Transportation & Works Health
and Safety Specialists are going to attend a H&S meeting as there are polices we
have to stay by, and the T&W H&S Specialist should be an invited guest by the
Committee, not because he decides to come to a meeting.
The Management
Co-chair stated that the T&W H&S Specialists attend the meetings only to provide
updates and information to the Committee. The H&S Specialists attend the
meetings as invitees only on a monthly basis and leave after they have provided
updates. They are not H&S members.
5.
TRAINING
No updates were
received regarding training. It was mentioned that new employees in the
maintenance area require training.
6.
AGENDA ITEMS
a)
Mirror Repair 0315
– It was mentioned to the Worker Co-chair that the arm of the side mirror on the
passenger side of unit # 0315 was shorter than others. The Committee agreed
that this should be written up by the driver so that maintenance can follow up.
b)
Mechanic Seat Covers
Worker Rep would like to recommend that maintenance cover the
operators seat with a plastic cover when repairing buses as grease gets on the
seats, and ruins operators’ uniform shirts.
c)
Hand Dryers for Washrooms in Drivers Lounge
(Malton & CPY)
It has been
requested that one hand dryer be installed in the lounge washrooms as a backup
when there are no paper towels. The Management Co-chair will look into the cost
and feasibility of installing dryers in these two areas.
d)
Pandemic Plan – The Corporation is looking at a plan for the City.

Stop Signs at Exit of Employee Parking Lot
