History of Member Engagement on EMS Psychological Safety Initiatives at AHSEMS

Psychological incidents are the highest reported safety concern reported in EMS. Worker representatives have been fighting for more engagement and involvement with the employer when it comes to designing and implementing psychological hazard controls.

Since 2014 HSAA has pushed for multiple committees to tackle these concern at a provincial /organizational level. Unfortunately, when the employer has a history of withdrawing from participation when challenged by worker members.
