Travel & Fieldwork Safety

Fieldwork activities can expose participants to significant risks to their health, safety or well-being, and therefore, the Health, Safety & Environment Unit has developed the Travel and Fieldwork Safety Policy (link to policy) and Procedures (PDF)

The Travel Authorization Form
For faculty and/or staff travelling outside of Regina, but within North America for business (conferences, seminars, meetings, etc) where students are NOT included.  Prior to departure complete The Travel Authorization Form (link) and submit to Financial Services.

Risk Assessment
The Travel Authorization Form is a Financial Services document that also includes a Risk Assessment portion which pertains to all faculty, staff and sports teams.  Health, Safety & Environment can assist with performing comprehensive risk assessments.

Faculty, staff and/or students travelling to remote locations
If you will be travelling to remote locations, unstable countries, or performing diving operations, prior to departure please complete The Travel Authorization Form and submit it to Financial Services.  You must also complete the Safety Planning Record which stays within your Faculty or Department.
