During a lengthy hearing involving three related proceedings under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the parties agreed to have the presiding Vice-Chair act as a mediator.
The mediation was agreed to on the condition that all discussions would be privileged and that the Vice-Chair would not be disqualified from continuing to hear and decide the matters if a settlement was not reached.
The Board scheduled a mediation session and set further hearing dates in the event the matters did not settle.
