A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:
HR hosts monthly meetings with Meadowbrook to review all open claims.
HR hosted Desk Ergonomics FY13 with Terry Buckhout, Arden Pierce ( to teach stretching at the desk) and Barbara Pliska (computer aids to avoid injury).
Two specific initiatives for safety identified by HR in FY14
Scheduled Dining Services (Kathy Z) to perform training on the Hot boxes that carry food. Facilities staff are less familiar with these boxes and we had a few injuries. Patrick Diggins assisted in this with Terry Buckhout.
HR recommendation for Dining Services to purchase cut gloves after they had an influx in cuts with knives. Kathy Z. bought cut gloves as a result and implemented a strict policy for using the gloves. Almost all the injuries ceased at that point. Both initiatives were successful.
Ongoing - Desk Ergonomic assessment and needs performed by Terry Buckhout, coordinated by Avril Russell
January HR hosted an all-manager meeting for 263 and 211 and Meadowbrook
January - Laura Smiarowski held a safety meeting for managers of 211 and 263
On demand meetings with 211/263 directors and Rich Korzenowski on current cases.
