Health & Safety
Health & safety is a priority for AQTIS 514 IATSE. We take the working conditions and environment of our members very seriously. The organization has taken the initiative to make health and safety information accessible to all.
Health & safety is the outcome of two laws: the Act respecting occupational health and safety, for prevention, and the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases, which deals with compensation. AQTIS 514 IATSE takes action in both prevention and compensation.
Prevention
It means being able to create a safe and healthy work environment.
It means wanting to eliminate or reduce the risk of injury when performing a task.
It means implementing various preventive measures, such as:
- Understanding the applicable law. The "Safety Rules for the Québec Film and Video Industry" sheets were created to facilitate access to information about prevention in our industry
- Read the reference documents to gain knowledge regarding health and safety
- Contact the prevention advisor for an issue or concern, or for guidance in a particular situation
- Documenting your actions by filling out inspection or registration forms before starting work
USEFUL DOCUMENT:
- Sheet 1- Safety Rules for the Quebec Film and Video Industry
