OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY/SECURITY
Overall responsibility for Security rests with the Manager, Support Services.
Assistance in Emergency Situations
If you have a condition or disability you feel may impact your ability to respond to an Emergency
situation (codes) please inform your supervisor and Occupational Health.
We have a process and procedure to review your limitations and needs and ensure we have plans in
place within your department for these situations. You can find more about this in Docushare:
Polices, Procedures and Forms, Polices and Forms – Administration, Accessibly Policies, and
Accessibility Workplace Emergency Response Plans for Staff with Disabilities.
Controlled Access/ Keys
Some departments issue keys to staff. If this is the case, you will be assigned a key by the Manager
of Support Services- this is your responsibility and you are required to return the key if employment
is terminated. All staff wear photo ID. This is also a means for access to certain areas. Staff
generally enter the facility through the side doors which are always locked, your ID will allow you
entry. Several departments /areas are locked at all times and staff gain access with their ID. Staff
locker rooms and washrooms in basement are also on controlled access and all staff have access
with their ID badge. Some areas have restricted access and only those working in that area have
privileges to enter with ID badge. If you lose your badge you will be charged an administration fee to
replace it.
Ergonomics / Physical Demands Analysis
We are a very fortunate organization to have an on-site Physiotherapy department. Our
physiotherapist prepares Physical Demands Analyses for each position at the organization which
entails looking at job function and making changes that meet ergonomic requirements.
