Holiday Season Office Safety Tips

Decorating the office for the holiday season?

Festive decorations help to brighten the office and bring holiday cheer. Here are a few tips to make sure this special time of year is fun and safe for everyone: 

  • If you need to stretch to hang ornaments or put up decorations, do not climb on chairs or other furniture. Instead, use a proper step stool or ladder.
  • Inspect lights and electrical cords for damaged, frayed or exposed wires. Do not “daisy chain” electrical cords together or overload outlets.
  • Watch the placement of electrical cords; avoid creating trip hazards.
  • Do not use lighted candles in the workplace; use battery-powered tea lights instead – turn off before leaving.
  • Ensure wreaths, ornaments and other trimmings do not cover or block access to safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, eye wash stations, emergency exit signs or doorways.
  • 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!

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

Julie Pellegrini

It is with great sadness that the HR family announces the peaceful passing of one of our own, Julie Pellegrini on Thursday, November 30, 2017. She certainly was taken from us too early. Her memory will be kept alive through her husband, children, siblings, parents and grandchildren and the HR family.  A Visitation Service in memory of Julie will be held on Saturday, December 2, 2017. Donations in memory of Julie can be made to the charity of your choice.

Once again the Department of Public Safety in partnership with the Toronto Police Service will be organizing and collecting toys for our annual #Santa9114Kids. Last year was a huge success! A big thanks goes to the Humber College Community.

We were able to collect and donate hundreds of toys to several local hospitals, families, and single parents in the GTA that needed some help during the holiday season.

Please bring a new unwrapped toy to the Department of Public Safety in NX101 (North Campus) and the M Building (Lakeshore Campus) by Monday, December 18, 2017. The Toys will be delivered between December 21-22, 2017.

Once again thank you for the continued support!
