Working Alone Survey

Posted on by

The CUPE National Health and Safety Committee has identified working alone as a significant factor in unsafe workplaces.  The purpose of this short survey is to gather information on how many CUPE members are working in workplaces by themselves, and what additional hazards they face while working alone.  Your answers will remain confidential, and be stored on CUPE maintained computer servers at the CUPE national office. The data collected by this survey will be used to determine what the committee’s next steps should be to help raise awareness and protect CUPE members from the added risks of working alone.
