SafetyNet 529

Welcome to the April 22 edition of your weekly OHS e-journal, SafetyNet.

The big event in the coming week is International Workers Memorial Day on April 28. While it will not be possible to run our usual event at the Trades Hall, we urge you all to tune in to our live stream - see the details below.

We hope you are all keeping well. We want to remind you that everyone at the VTHC is still available to answer queries and help in any way we can. This includes the OHS Unit, the Young Workers Centre, the Migrant Workers Centre, the Women's and Equity Team and everyone else.

To keep up to date and informed between editions of the journal, go to our We Are Union: OHS Reps Facebook page. If you have any questions or need any advice, we can be reached via the Ask Renata facility on the website or through the closed OHS Network Facebook page.
