Environment, Health & Safety RAD 201c Environment, Health & Safety Michelle Rooker, Operations Team Lead, EHS

How Can We Help You? EHS database Research review & approvals EHS Committees EHS tools & resources Welcome, FRO!

EHS Database EHS transitioning to new database Phase 1 (launched Jan 2017) PIs and lab supervisors can register personnel, equipment, hazards in locations Phase 2 (2017/2018) Incident reporting Questions? Contact ehs.info@ualberta.ca

EHS Database cont’d

Research Review & Approvals Biohazard approvals for grants: Researcher receives notice of funding & RES number Researcher applies for biohazards review (New or Subsidiary Grant form) EHS reviews grant against registry Request for more info or approval RSO releases funds

Research Review & Approvals cont’d Chemical, biohazard, radiation review of human & animal protocols Researcher submits HERO or AERO application in REMO EHS receives notification of study Request for more info or approval

EHS Committees: History

EHS Committees: Purpose & Benefits Supports the implementation of the EHS Policy Provides a structured approach to communication with faculty & departments Unit engagement and demonstration of leadership and commitment Goal: Every faculty or department has an EHS Committee

Tools & Services: Training Courses include WHMIS (new content for 2017) Radiation safety Laboratory safety Chemical safety Concepts in Biosafety Transport of Dangerous Goods Fire extinguisher simulator training (we’ll come to YOU!) FREE for staff & students (& looks great on a resume!)

Tools & Services: Hazard Assessment Web Application An online tool for hazard management Use the app to Identify hazards (chemical, physical, biological, psychosocial) Evaluate risk Assign controls (administrative, engineering & PPE)

Tools & Services: Emergency Preparedness Visit the wiki Build a unit action plan for your department Develop an operational continuity plan Planning a special event? Build an event plan! Heading off campus for work purposes? Register in UGo (off campus travel registry)

Tools & Services: Incident Reporting What’s reportable? Injury Exposure to hazardous substances Observed safety violation Property damage Spill or other uncontrolled release Near miss

A Bajillion Other Things ... Lab inspections Permitting and equipment certification (lasers & x-rays) Audiometric testing Waste pickup & management Assistance with imports of biohazards Monitor use of chemical weapons and toxic substances Environmental assessments Online tools for ergonomics & indoor air quality assessments “Chematix” chemical inventory Working alone template Lab safety checklist Assistance with importation of biological materials Tabletop exercises: emergency scenarios Noise management Incident investigations Yada yada yada ...

A Bajillion Other Things ... Oh, and respirator fit-testing

Where Can You Find Us? Risk Management Symposium (January) NAOSH Week pop-up booths (May) Safety Fest (late September) New staff orientations (March, August, November) Fire extinguisher simulator training (Book a session through EHS)
