Why workplace inspections take place?
Inspections are important as they allow the College to ensure that:
- All concerns are reported investigated and promptly corrected.
- Existing and potential health and safety hazards in the workplace are identified controlled and/or eliminated.
- Health and safety standards and procedures are adhered to.
- Preventive controls are established.
- The effectiveness of controls is monitored.
Evacuation and Fire Drills
Fire drills are in the fall of each year to provide an opportunity to practice evacuation.
Everyone must follow the directives of the Evacuation Wardens to evacuate the buildings immediately.
Evacuation Wardens are staff volunteers dressed in reflective yellow vests who assist building occupants to the nearest emergency exits and evacuation assembly areas once outside.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Close the doors as you leave.
- Listen for instructions from the Evacuation Wardens.
- Help anyone who may be having difficulty walking down the stairs.
- Clear the way for emergency personnel.
- Be ready to merge with other people evacuating the building.
- Proceed to your assigned assembly area.
Duties of Workers
Workers play a key role in health and safety at the workplace. Workers have various duties under the OHSA. Under the OHSA, a worker must:
- Work in compliance with the Act and regulations [clause 28(1)(a)]
- Use or wear any equipment, protective devices or clothing required by the employer [clause28(1)(b)]
- Report to the employer or supervisor any known missing or defective equipment or protective device that may endanger the worker or another worker [clause 28(1)(c)]
- Report any hazard or contravention of the Act or regulations to the employer or supervisor [clause 28(1)(d)]
- Not remove or make ineffective any protective device required by the employer or by the regulations other than in circumstances specified below [clause 28(2)(a)]. The only circumstance in which a worker may remove a protective device is where an adequate temporary protective device is provided in its place. Once there is no longer a need to remove the required protective device or to make it ineffective, it must be replaced immediately
- Not use or operate any equipment or work in a way that may endanger any worker [clause 28(2)(b)], and
- Not engage in any prank, contest, feat of strength, unnecessary running, or rough and boisterous conduct [clause 28(2)(c)]. Racing powered hand trucks in a warehouse or seeing who can pick up the most boxes are examples of unlawful conduct.
