AMTA's Kelsey Hipkin chats with Josh Hannaberry, AMTA's Senior Advisor, Strategic Partnerships, and Christina Sadlowski, CTSP Advisor for Fleet Safety with Strike Group.In this episode, we dive into Christina and Josh's journey towards getting their Certified Transportation Safety Professional (CTSP) designations, their motivations to pursue the designation, their experience with the process, and how the program encourages collaboration among peers working toward certification.We also discuss how the CTSP and CTSC designations highlight the diversity in commercial vehicle operations - beyond the typical tractor-trailer setups - and the unique safety needs that come with it. Plus, from an insurance and compliance angle, we dive into how the designation supports safety through both the National Safety Code (NSC) and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) frameworks.Visit AMTA's website if you would like to learn more about the Certified Transportation Safety Professional (CTSP) program: https://www.amta.ca/ctsp, or the Certified Transportation Safety Coordinator (CTSC) program: https://www.amta.ca/ctsc. With the launch of our new member value initiative, AMTA has made the CTSC and CTSP designations more attainable.

In this episode, Jody and Leanne discuss one of the Standards of Practice that typically gets little attention, the Legislative Responsibilities Standard. The episode starts with a brief review of some relevant legislation encompassed in the Standard, including: The Radiation Protection Act; and The Protection for Persons in Care Act.   The second half of the episode provides a more detailed discussion of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which has recently garnered attention in the physiotherapy community because of the announcement that the Government of Alberta plans to send Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) officers to inspect physiotherapy businesses.   The discussion of the OHS Act focusses on: The application of OHS legislation to physiotherapy practice. The key aims of the legislation and its requirements. The roles of both employers and workers.   We also talk about the rationale for the increase in OHS inspections, link to tools to help you prepare for an inspection and direct you to additional workplace safety program resources.      If you are surprised that this legislation applies to you and your practice, you may want to check out the episode!   Resources: Physiotherapy Alberta.

Em abril é comemorado o Dia Mundial Da Saúde e o Dia Mundial da Saúde do Trabalhador. Para marcar essas datas, este episódio irá discutir uma questão muito importante: saúde e segurança no trabalho. As medidas de saúde e segurança no trabalho desempenham um papel importante na qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores e na sua capacidade de garantir meios de vida estáveis e sustentáveis. E isso é ainda mais crucial para os trabalhadores informais, muitas vezes deixados de fora das regulamentações que lhes garantem um ambiente de trabalho seguro. Foi pensando sobre essas questões que surgiu o projeto cuidar. Procurando compreender os desafios que os catadores de materiais recicláveis enfrentam no brasil, Sonia Dias e Ana Carolina Ogando desenvolveram um projeto empírico de pesquisa-ação qualitativa, durante dois anos, em cooperativas de catadores. Ana e vão falar sobre o Projeto Cuidar. Sonia Dias é socióloga por formação e é doutora em ciência política pela Universidade Federal de Belo Horizonte, e é atualmente especialista em resíduos de WIEGO. Ana Carolina é pesquisadora da WIEGO e também tem um doutorado em ciência política na mesma universidade. *Cuidar Project Page http://www.wiego.org/cuidar-project *Cuidar Project: Summary Report http://www.wiego.org/sites/default/files/resources/files/Dias-Ogando-Project-Cuidar-Health-Mapping.pdf *WIEGO’s page on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) https://www.wiego.org/ohs *WIEGO’s page on Waste-pickers http://www.wiego.org/informal-economy/occupational-groups/waste-pickers *Joint ILO/WIEGO report Cooperatives Meeting Informal Economy Workers’ Child Care Needs (2018) https://www.ilo.org/global/topics/cooperatives/publications/WCMS_626682/lang--en/index.htm *WIEGO’s page on cooperatives http://www.wiego.org/wiego/wiegos-work-cooperatives Nossa música-tema é Focus, do A.

On April 7th is celebrated the World Health Day. In order to mark this date, this episode will discuss a very important issue: occupational, health and safety. Health and safety measures at work play an important role on workers quality of life, and their capacity of having a steady and sustainable livelihood. And this is even more crucial for informal workers, often left out of regulations that assure them a safe work environment. It was thinking about this questions that the Cuidar Project came about. Seeking to understand the challenges waste pickers face in Brazil, Sonia Dias and Ana Carolina Ogando undertook an empirical qualitative research-action project for two years at waste-pickers cooperatives. Sonia dias is a sociologist by training and holds a PhD in political science at the federal university of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and is currently Wiego’s Waste Specialist. Ana Carolina is Wiego’s Research Associate and also holds a PhD in political science at the same university. *Cuidar Project Page http://www.wiego.org/cuidar-project *Cuidar Project: Summary Report http://www.wiego.org/sites/default/files/resources/files/Dias-Ogando-Project-Cuidar-Health-Mapping.pdf *WIEGO’s page on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) https://www.wiego.org/ohs *WIEGO’s page on Waste-pickers http://www.wiego.org/informal-economy/occupational-groups/waste-pickers *Joint ILO/WIEGO report Cooperatives Meeting Informal Economy Workers’ Child Care Needs (2018) https://www.ilo.org/global/topics/cooperatives/publications/WCMS_626682/lang--en/index.htm *WIEGO’s page on cooperatives http://www.wiego.org/wiego/wiegos-work-cooperatives Our theme music is Focus, from A.

The massive Tianjiayi Chemical factory explosion in eastern Jiangsu province in late March, where at least 78 workers were killed, and many hundreds injured, is another tragic example of the weak Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws in China.One of the main problems in achieving safer workplaces is the weal bargaining power of the great majority of Chinese workers.APC was able to interview Geoffrey Crothall, the Communications Director of China Labour Bulletin, on the background to this disaster, the dynamics of OHS enforcement in China and the possible ways forward for increasing the strenght and effectiveness of workers organising, both at the local level and nationwide.
