An Important Message from Information Technology Services

Subject: Ordering of Service Assets

Year-end is fast approaching. Have you ordered all the services assets (computers, laptops, etc.) you planned to purchase this fiscal? If not, there is still time. The deadline to issue a Purchase Order this fiscal is December 31st (Dell) January 31st.

IMPORTANT

  1. Dell Inc. is experiencing a shortage on Intel Processors. The deadline to issue a Purchase Order this fiscal is December 31st to mitigate the longer leadtime.
  2. In order for an item to be purchased out of this year’s fiscal budget (2019/2020), it must be received in full by year-end (March 31st).

Ready to order? The requisition process (needs recognition, budget approvals, etc.) often takes days. Please contact Humber’s Request Fulfillment Coordinator without delay.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Arthur Serwaczak, Manager of Technology Support, at x4738 before the January 31st deadline.

Holiday Season Office Safety Tips

Decorating the office for the holiday season?

Festive decorations help to brighten the office and bring holiday cheer. Whether you have already decorated or are about to decorate, consider the following tips to ensure this special time of year is fun and safe for everyone: 

  • To reach high to hang ornaments or put up decorations, use a proper step stool or ladder. Do not climb on chairs or other furniture.
  • Lights and electrical cords should be inspected prior to use. Do not use any that are damaged, frayed or have exposed wires.  Do not “daisy chain” electrical cords together or overload outlets.
  • Do not use lighted candles in the workplace; use battery-powered tea lights instead and ensure you turn them off before leaving.
  • Watch the placement of electrical cords; avoid creating trip hazards.
  • Ensure wreaths, ornaments and other trimmings do not hang off, cover, or block access to safety equipment, including sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers and hose cabinets, eye wash stations, emergency exit signs or doorways and first aid supplies.
  • Remember to unplug tree lights or other illuminated items before leaving for the day!

Having an office party?

Whether your holiday party is on campus or off campus, make safety and health the centerpiece:

  • Be careful not to leave perishable food out for more than two hours – put food back in the refrigerator.
  • Watch for holiday clutter such as boxes and bags and other potential tripping hazards.
  • Wash your hands frequently – it is flu season!

Occupational Health and Safety Services would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe holiday season!

The Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning and the University of Guelph-Humber (hereafter referred to as “Humber” or “the College”) is committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive culture in which all members of the College community study, work and live free from discrimination and harassment. The College has the right, as well as the legal and moral responsibility, to ensure that all its members are treated fairly, equitably, and respectfully, in order to provide a learning, working and living environment free from discrimination and harassment.

Racist statements and hate messages are forms of discrimination and a breach of the Ontario Human Rights Code and Humber’s Human Rights Policy. Hate messages are not accepted at Humber.

Humber’s Human Rights Policy defines Racial/Ethno-cultural/Religious Harassment:

Racial/Ethno-cultural/Religious Harassment: Is prohibited by the Ontario Human Rights Code and generally involves written, verbal and/or physical actions which express negative attitudes, derogation, and/or hate for a person or group of persons based on their race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship or creed. Racial/ethno-cultural/religious harassment may include, but is not limited to, the following behaviours:

  • demeaning comments, unwelcome remarks, jokes, innuendoes or taunting about a person's or group of persons' race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed;
  • displaying racist, derogatory or offensive pictures or sexually explicit materials, either through printed copy or personal computer;
  • denial of normal co-operation with members of the College community because of the individual's racial or ethnic background;
  • insulting gestures or practical jokes based on racial or ethnic grounds which cause embarrassment or awkwardness;
  • demeaning remarks about a racial/cultural group in the presence of any individual (not necessarily a member of the group mentioned) that creates a poisoned learning, working and living environment;
  • using pejorative names based on race or ethnic origin.

To access Humber’s Human Rights Policy, please visit here. The Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures is available here.

Thank you for your commitment to ensuring an inclusive environment free from discrimination and harassment.
