Health, Safety & Welfare

The CFS has a number of people available who are ready and able to assist with the health, safety and well being of volunteers.

To raise an issue regarding Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare (OHS&W) contact your local brigade captain, group officer or regional office and ask to speak with an OHS&W officer or representative. Each branch of the CFSVA also has an OHS&W committee member that can assist you.
