This course details the initiatives that the University is undertaking to prevent COVID-19 infection in the workplace and outlines how you can contribute. Once the course has been completed, please email certificate of completion to Edythe at for record keeping.

Preventing COVID-19 Infection in the Workplace course

The New Worker Safety Orientation covers general safety information that all workers must be aware of before beginning to work at UBC. Once the general safety course is complete, workers must also receive a site specific safety orientation as each area will have their own safety procedures (i.e. meeting area during a building evacuation, etc…). The first part is online and covers the following general safety topics:

  • Policy #7: University Safety
  • Employer, Supervisor and Employee Responsibilities
  • Worker Rights
  • Hazard Reporting
  • Resolving unsafe work situations
  • Reporting Accidents/Incidents
  • First Aid
  • Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS)
  • Personal Protective Equipment
  • Prevention of Bullying & Harassment
  • Violence Prevention
  • Emergency Procedures

PART 2
After the completion of the New Worker Safety Orientation, a site specific safety orientation is required to be completed with your supervisor or a person designated by your supervisor who is familiar with the hazards in your area. A Site Specific Safety Orientation Template (WORD) is available to document the information reviewed.

In addition to completing the “Autoclave Training” course offered through Safety and Risk Management at:  https://wpl.ubc.ca/, the Department of Zoology requires members that are planning on using autoclaves for their work, or research, to undergo in-department autoclave safety training.

Please contact Joanne Denny at denny@zoology.ubc.ca to arrange safety training prior to using autoclaves.
