Collective Agreement Review Health & Safety
THE CALGARY BOARD OF EDUCATION & CUPE LOCAL 40 You always have the RIGHT to REFUSE UNSAFE WORK
In every situation that seems to feel unsafe, you have the right to contact
your supervisor and question if the situation is safe to work.
Article 1.02 & 1.03 Classification and Examples of Unsafe Working Conditions
Unsafe working conditions are a threat to everyone, and they can occur in any environ-
ment. They can often be classified as ergonomic hazards, chemical hazards, or biological
hazards, although not all dangers in the workplace fall under those categories.
1.02 The Board and the Union mutually agree that at no time shall
either organization, or any of their officials show discrimination Ergonomic Hazards
against any of the employees covered by this Agreement because
Ergonomic hazards are related to the way your job strains your body. Sometimes it’s the
of their connection with the Union, or on account of creed, colour,
nationality, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, political belief, type of work you do, such as work that requires you to use repetitive or awkward
age or disability. motions, or to lift things frequently; other times, it has to do with your body positions
and your work environment, such as bad lighting or an improperly adjusted workstation.
Chemical Hazards
1.03 The Board and the Union recognize the right of all employees Chemical hazards are present any time you’re exposed to any chemical preparation in the

and solvents, vapors and fumes, and flammable materials. They can also include carbon
monoxide, gasoline, and asbestos.
Biological Hazards
Biological hazards are those that come from working with people, plants, or animals.
Blood and bodily fluids, bacteria and viruses, and even insect bites can be considered
biological hazards. So can animal and bird droppings.
