It is unclear if all offices are holding their regular OH&S meetings. There is a central location for all offices to post to the shared drive. Holding regular meetings is a requirement under the Act as is posting minutes. This would include meetings where there is no new business or past items to discuss. Offices still must show that meeting was held and post the time and date the meeting was held indicating that nothing was addressed.
