The Health and Safety of Students, Faculty, and Staff is Our Top Priority!


The Health and Safety team is committed to fostering a safe and healthy environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors. Cultivating a positive safety culture and maintaining a strong safety management system, encourages all of us to apply relevant procedures and processes to protect ourselves, and others, from harm.  Health and Safety subscribes to the principle that these standards must be promoted and integrated in teaching, research, and work practices on our campuses.

We support open consultation and communication with students, faculty members, staff, senior leaders, and outside agencies to achieve a common understanding of, and resolution to, health and safety matters on our campuses.

We have a moral, ethical, and legal obligation to keep everyone safe!


We are excited to announce the launch of our Health & Safety Events section located at the bottom of this page.  Check it out for information on our upcoming Lab Safety Contest in February and 2nd Annual Health & Safety Expo in March!

Safety is Everyone's Responsibility


These resources are provided to ensure safe academic, research, work, and living practices on campus for students, faculty, and staff. 

Reporting an Incident/Near Miss or Safety Concern

Any individual involved in an incident, regardless of injury, must report it to Health and Safety within 24 hours. Reporting a near miss/safety concern helps us to identify potential hazards on our campuses to ensure the safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Lab Safety - Special Editions


Due to recent amendments to the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR), updates have been made to the WHMIS program.  These HPR amendments will better protect workers by requiring more comprehensive and detailed health and safety information on product labels and safety data sheets.  

WHMIS Label Request Form:  To support WHMIS compliance, including hazard identification and proper chemical labeling on campus, an online form is now available under Forms and Procedures.
