Workload and Overwork
As employers pull back resources, they expect workers to do more with less. This module will examine workload, the cause and effects of overwork, and strategies to overcome the ever-increasing workload that is damaging not just our health at work but also the relationships we have outside of work.
Violence Prevention in the Workplace
This module examines the risk factors that lead to violence in the workplace and the employer’s obligations to prevent workers from being exposed to and injured by violence while at work. We examine relevant health and safety law and start to develop strategies to make our workplaces safer.

Workshop Cancellation Policy - A minimum of 10 participants is required to avoid cancellation of the workshop.
Snow Storm Workshop Cancellation Policy - The reality within the Maritimes is that it is necessary to be prepared for Winter Storms. The following is our new policy for keeping members and facilitators safe during our chaotic winters:
Facilitators, in discussion with the Education Rep, will decide the day prior to an education session, if the workshop will be cancelled or not due to impending weather conditions. We will do our best to make this decision by noon the day before a session so that there is time to reach all participants to inform them of the cancelation. (Since most courses are a day and a half, if the first day is cancelled (6 hrs), the course will be postponed completely, and rescheduled for a future date. If the second day of training is cancelled due to weather (3 hrs), the second day will not be rescheduled.) Participants will be notified by email or phone if a workshop is cancelled. Participants are encouraged to check the CUPE NB or CUPE PEI Facebook pages for updates on closures. CUPE workshops will not be following public school closures, or late starts.
In response to the health concerns of our members and staff, CUPE has implemented a Scent-Free Policy at all of our workshops. Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches. Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings. Thank you for your cooperation.
