Playing our part in pursuing health and safety
If you're a member of the UFV community, then you have a key part to play in your own health and safety and in the safety of those around you.
Supervisors have the important role of making sure the employees they oversee have all the information, equipment, and training they need to stay safe. Supervisors also ensure their teams are following safety procedures consistently.
Employees are responsible to follow established safe work procedures, use protective equipment properly, and report any work situation that is hazardous.
As an employee, you have the right to refuse unsafe work without any penalty. You also have the right to invest work hours in learning about the hazards of your job, and being trained in health and safety practices.
Employee safety orientation
Get started with your employee safety orientation to learn the essential procedures, responsibilities, and resources that help keep our campus community safe. This training will guide you through UFV’s safety expectations and emergency protocols so you can feel confident and prepared in your role.
Specialized safety & security training
Request for specialized training or orientation for individuals or departments, such as emergency procedures training, department security training, or residence training.
