AUPE Government Service members invited to ‘Going for Gold’
Health and Safety Conference
EDMONTON — AUPE members employed by the provincial government
are eligible to attend the second ‘Going for Gold’ Occupational
Health and Safety Conference at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton
Nov. 6, 2003.
The conference is part of the joint AUPE-Alberta Government’s comprehensive
Occupational Health and Safety program. The program celebrated its 25th
anniversary last year.
“We hope the conference further promotes health and safety in the
workplace for government employees,” said AUPE Union Representative
Grace Dykau, a specialist in occupational health and safety issues.
A variety of guest speakers and information sessions are planned, Dykau
said. Displays from AUPE, the Alberta Government and safety suppliers
will also be on hand.
AUPE is providing morning coffee, briefcases, and stationery supplies
for all delegates in order to control costs so more members can attend.
More than 300 members are expected at the conference.
The comprehensive OH&S program encompasses health and safety issues
such as creating worksite and department health and safety committees,
emergency preparedness, and injury and incident reports.
The registration deadline for the conference is Oct. 22, 2003.
