A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives, including how workers are engaged in monitoring and advising on health and safety programs:

At SFU, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), in consultation with a diverse group of university stakeholders, has developed an extensive array of health and safety policies, programs, procedures, and training activities. These set the foundation to ensure compliance with the federal, provincial and municipal legislation and standards that guide SFU’s operations and activities. Joint Health & Safety Committees are in place and consist of worker and management representatives. There are 12 committees and they each meet monthly to discuss and review safety initiatives and the effectiveness of existing safety programs. The committees are also responsible for performing inspections of the workplace and participating in incident investigations.
