University Occupational Health and Safety Strategy
Our strategy reflects our commitment to creating and sustaining an environment that nurtures intellectual curiosity and excellence while safeguarding the health and well-being of all individuals within our community.
Vision
To be a leader in workplace environmental health and safety that delivers value to University operations.
Mission
To maximize engagement in health, safety and environmental programs, and to integrate health, safety and environmental considerations into decision-making processes.
Mandate
To promote the OHS Management System while undertaking institutional activities to enhance the ability of the University community to safely innovate, lead, and explore.
On our way to foster a safety culture
The continued campus health and safety evolution is broken down into distinct phases, each with major milestones to achieve success and improve its sustainability. The Occupational Health and Safety Management System implemented in 2023 has allowed the institution to take a quantum leap toward this vision.
“Our commitment to excellence extends beyond celebrating academic achievements to instilling the principle that every person has the right to work and study in a healthy and safe environment.”
