Themaquiz 1: Stepping into the supervisor role

Wat je moet weten voor het examen

In Alberta, every supervisor must advise workers of all known or reasonably foreseeable hazards in their work area and report unsafe acts or conditions to the employer.
In Alberta, a shift over 5 hours needs a 30-minute break, and a shift of 10 hours or more needs two. A break must be paid if the employer restricts what the worker can do.
Alberta overtime is all hours over 8 a day or 44 a week, whichever is greater, paid at least 1.5 times the regular wage.
Ontario overtime starts after 44 hours in a work week, and there is no daily overtime by default.
In federally regulated workplaces, employers must give a written schedule at least 96 hours ahead and 24 hours' written notice of a shift change, except in certain urgent situations.
In Alberta, harassment can be a single incident or repeated incidents, but reasonable conduct by a supervisor in managing workers is not harassment.
CCOHS says the purpose of an incident investigation is to find the facts that lead to corrective action, not to find fault.
CCOHS describes safety talks as short meetings of about 5 minutes and advises keeping a record of the topic, worker feedback and attendance.
