Safety Committee

The Department of Human Resources in conjunction with Local Union 1033 works with all City Departments in an effort to determine their safety and health needs. This includes, but is not limited to, safety equipment, inoculations and general safety programs and training. A joint City/Union Safety Committee addresses the following issues on an on-going basis:

• City-wide Emergency Evacuation Plan
• Blood Borne Pathogen Plan and Inoculations (TB, Rabies,
Hepatitis A & B)
• General Building Safety and Site Visits
• Workers' Compensation Injury Analysis
• Air Quality
• Training

Training

The Department of Human Resources employs a City Training Coordinator who is responsible for meeting the needs of all 1033 union employees. It is the Coordinator's goal to identify and schedule appropriate and relevant training programs in both blue-collar and white-collar areas of employment. Additionally, the Coordinator identifies and schedules professional development seminars and educational opportunities.

If you are currently employed by the City of Providence and a Local Union 1033 Member and have additional questions, concerns, or would like additional information, please contact Michael Welden, Training Coordinator, at 401-421-7740 ext. 397.
