    POLICY

    The Board of Governors of Lambton College recognizes the legal and moral responsibilities of the College to provide a safe and healthy work and educational environment for all employees and students.

     

    Lambton College is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy place to work, teach, study, and conduct research. Every practical measure will be taken to protect all persons on its premises from occupational illness or injury due to accidents.

     

    The objective of the College Occupational Health & Safety Policy, consistent with the overall objectives of the College, is to minimize the risk of injury / illness or property damage through:

    1. the provision of safe facilities, equipment, materials, and protective devices;
    2. the establishment of safe practices, procedures, and measures which are strictly observed; and
    3. encouraging a culture of safety with the ongoing development and enhancement of the Internal Responsibility System

    SUPPORTING PRINCIPLES

    The following supporting principles are endorsed by the College in the conviction that the objective of the College Occupational Health & Safety Policy is best achieved when:

    1. maintaining compliance with federal, provincial, and municipal environmental, health and safety laws and standards of regulatory authority respecting occupational health & safety
    2. individuals in supervisory positions at all levels:
      1. recognize and accept that the responsibility and accountability for safety in their area rests with them;
      2. ensure that a safe and healthy work environment is maintained and that safe work practices, procedures, and measures are followed by all employees;
      3. ensure that departmental safety procedures are adhered to and kept up to date; and
      4. take the necessary, positive, corrective action on all accident causes and workplace hazards as they are identified
    3. every employee:
      1. complies with safe working practices, procedures, and measures
      2. reports, in writing, any unsafe or unhealthy conditions to their supervisor
    4. safety programs and subsequent training are tailored to the circumstances pertaining to the needs of each department and are developed in cooperation among the departments, the HSE Coordinator, the Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee (JOHSC), and are actively supported by staff at all levels

     

    The Health, Safety & Environmental Coordinator in conjunction with the Safety & Security Specialist are to be recognized and utilized as specialist resource staff, a focal point for health, safety and security coordinated administration, and the College’s representation in external contacts.

     

    The JOHSC will receive complete support from the College community.
