Student and Visitor Health, Safety or Wellness Concerns
Students and visitors should report health safety and wellness concerns, security issues, suspicious or criminal activity to Public Safety & Emergency Management as soon as possible. For severe life-threatening emergencies call 9-1-1 and then contact Security.
Students should also notify their faculty.
Student and Visitor Injury Reporting
If a student or visitor to the college is injured, the following procedure must be followed:
- Class Student Injury: Injured students are given a Supervisor's Accident Investigation Report (SAIR) Form to complete from a first-person perspective and must return it to the First Aid Centre.
- Out-of-Class Student Injury: Students receiving first aid must complete the SAIR form and return it to the First Aid Centre.
- Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Placement Student Injury: Students injured during a work-integrated learning placement must report the incident to their placement supervisor.
- Visitor Injury (including contractors): Visitors to the college who receive first aid follow the same process, complete the SAIR form and return it to the First Aid Centre.
For student health insurance and questions about Work Integrated Learning, contact the WIL department.
