KPI 3.11: Emerging Priority: COVID-19

Relates to priority: Provide Inspiring Spaces


The health and wellbeing of our UBC community remain our first priority. UBC departments will develop COVID-19 related Safety Plans, in alignment with Centre of Disease Control and WorkSafeBC guidelines. Once safety plans are approved and implemented, Safety & Risk Services will conduct site visits in partnership with a building representative and where available, a member from the Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee (JOHSC) or Local Safety Team. Information gathered will be used to develop a report outlining recommendations, suggestions and resources to assist with maintaining compliance. The Administrative Head of Unit will be responsible for implementing changes as required.
