A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted:
The Baseline varies by department needs. For example in Faculties Services the Safety Manager works with the Supervisors on specific topics. Custodians are trained by the supervisor when they begin their job and in future “ in service” classroom training. In academics, students using wood or metal shops are trained by the lab supervisor and must do a baseline qualification on the respective machines prior to using the machines. Faculty working in labs also do baseline lab safety training.
A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:
The safety training initiative is done by the Supervisor, Safety Manager, or Lab Safety Specialist with a combination of classroom and on-line training in order to work with the department and/or employees schedule and training topic. The work order system in Facilities Services is another initiative where safety and health issues are reported and logged for follow up.
