A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted:
The Baseline varies by department needs. For example in Faculties Services the Safety Manager works with the Supervisors  on specific topics.  Custodians are trained by the supervisor when they begin their job and in  future “ in service” classroom training.  In academics, students using wood or metal shops are trained by the lab supervisor and must do a baseline qualification on the respective machines prior to using the machines.  Faculty working in labs also do baseline lab safety training.
