2026 Safety Shares
Respiratory Illness Season
Whether it is getting vaccinated, washing your hands, improving ventilation, or staying home when sick, EVERY action helps reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses and supports the health of our campus community.
Small preventative actions make a BIG difference!
Fire Safety At Home
Keeping your home and family safe from fire doesn't have to be complicated - it's as easy as 1-2-3! By taking three simple steps to prevent fires, prepare for emergencies, and plan a fire escape, everyone in your home will be ready when it matters most!
Information about the University of Regina 2026 Annual Fire Evacuation Drills is also posted.
Food Safety
Food safety isn't just for kitchens and cafeterias-it applies to picnics, BBQs, offices, and residences.
Following these key practices helps to prevent foodborne illness and keeps everyone healthy.
Hazardous Light
Many everyday light sources emit hazardous optical radiation - ultraviolet (UV), intense visible light, infrared (IR), and laser radiation.
Health & Safety explores the types of hazardous light and the degree of damage possible to the eyes and skin depending on the type of light, intensity, and duration of exposure.
Waste Disposal
One small action can make a big impact! Our May Safety Share takes the guesswork out of campus waste disposal containers and bins and the proper practices for using each one safely.
Effective waste disposal practices helps to protect the health and safety of our campus community while supporting a cleaner, more sustainable environment for everyone.
Safety & Health Week 2026
Safety and Health Week is an ideal time for students, faculty, and staff to focus on the importance of preventing injury and illness on our campuses, at home, and in our communities.
Our April Safety Share provides ideas on how faculties, departments, and local safety committees can promote Safety and Health Week (May 4 to 9).
Each year on April 28, we remember those who have lost their lives, suffered injury or illness on the job, or experienced a work-related tragedy.
