abstract: 'We examine the potential effectiveness of key provisions of the Quebec
|
|
|
|
prevention regime as reformed by the Act to modernize the occupational
|
|
|
|
health and safety regime (AMOHS) in September 2021. We expand Tucker''s
|
|
|
|
(2007) two-axis typology characterizing citizenship at work to include a
|
|
|
|
perspective sensitive to gender and to other sources of inequalities
|
|
|
|
such as class and race. In this expanded model, the right to
|
|
|
|
representative participation, worker influence and internal control
|
|
|
|
extends to all workers (regardless of employment status), and includes
|
|
|
|
accountability along value chains. In the expanded model,risks addressed
|
|
|
|
by the prevention regime, and subject to external control, include often
|
|
|
|
invisibilized risks associated with women''s work. In the face of
|
|
|
|
opposition to the initial reform bill, which underestimated the risks
|
|
|
|
associated with women''s work, adoption of key elements of the reform -
|
|
|
|
the provisions on preventive and participatory mechanisms - was
|
|
|
|
postponed and an interim regime established. The AMOHS will eventually
|
|
|
|
allow for worker participation mechanisms aimed at increasing internal
|
|
|
|
control in all sectors. This, however, comes with a risk that internal
|
|
|
|
control will result in cosmetic rather than substantive compliance, lead
|
|
|
|
to inconsistent levels of worker influence and undermine some of the
|
|
|
|
conditions that underpin effective participation mechanisms, especially
|
|
|
|
for non-unionized workers and those in small establishments. Further,
|
|
|
|
the Public Health network has lost systematic access to workplaces, and
|
|
|
|
it is not known what resources will be available to it or to the
|
|
|
|
inspectorate. It remains to be seen whether the ongoing joint regulatory
|
|
|
|
process to determine future preventive and participatory mechanisms will
|
|
|
|
strengthen prevention and at the same time bolster, rather than weaken,
|
|
|
|
citizenship at work.'
