Occupational Health and Safety

Representations

Sandro Bartucci, UCCO-SAAC-CSN, for the employee
Alain Jacques, for the employer

[1]  On August 28, 2003, André Urbain informed his employer that, as a result of threatening shouts and looks from inmates and the fact that this was the first time he had felt uncomfortable about doing his job, he had decided to exercise his right of refusal. Health and safety officer Pierre Morin investigated the refusal to work by Mr. Urbain, of the Federal Training Centre, and subsequently decided that there was no danger.

[2]  On September 22, 2003, Sandro Bartucci of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO-SAAC-CSN) filed an appeal on behalf of the above-mentioned employee against the decision rendered by health and safety officer Pierre Morin on August 28, 2003. Nonetheless, on January 26, 2004, Mr. Bartucci of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO-SAAC-CSN), representing the employee, informed the Canada Appeals Office on Occupational Health and Safety that the employee was withdrawing his appeal against the above-noted decision of no danger.

[3]  As the appeals officer reviewing this matter, I confirm that the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO-SAAC-CSN), representing Mr. Urbain, has withdrawn the appeal of the decision of no danger rendered by health and safety officer Pierre Morin. This file is now closed.
