Health, Safety & Wellness (HSW) strives to empower and enable faculty and staff through supportive and resourceful leadership to engage and create a healthy, safe and well workforce. Technical expertise is provided by HSW to the university community through the development, implementation, and maintenance of sustainable programs and processes in areas related to occupational health & safety, academic and lab safety (including biosafety); environmental safety; fire safety (in partnership with Campus Security Services); the University’s insurance program; short- and long-term disability; Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) claims management; ergonomic assessments; management of workplace accommodations and employee wellness initiatives.
Brock University is committed to meeting its duties under the Ontario Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA), including appointing supervisors and ensuring they are competent to meet their supervisory duties. A worker who has charge of a workplace with the duty and the effective power to “ensure” that workers comply with the OHSA and applicable university policies and procedures attract supervisory status. A Department Chair may not have the formal power to sanction or reward a worker; however this is not a requirement for supervisory status under the OHSA. The effective power to “ensure” may be found simply when a worker is close to the work (or “hands on”) and is expected to address safety issues.
