Humber is committed to providing a safe work environment for all staff and endeavors to reduce workplace risks that may lead to accidents and personal injury. In the unfortunate circumstance that a work related accident does occur, it is important to know how to respond. The information below outlines the first steps involved in injury treatment and reporting.
INJURY TREATMENT:
If you are injured during the course of your work, obtain medical attention through one of the following options:
a) Humber’s Health Centres, located in LRC 2nd Floor (North) and WEL 202 (Lakeshore), will provide first aid treatment as well as advise whether additional assessment and treatment should be obtained from a doctor or other health care provider.
b) If you require assistance outside of Health Centre hours, or if emergency medical services (EMS) are required, contact Security at one of the numbers listed below. Security guards are trained in first aid, and can also contact EMS if required.
- 416.675.6622 x4000 (for emergencies)
- 416.675.8500 (for non-emergencies)
If EMS (911) has already been contacted, inform Security.Security is best equipped to direct EMS to the location on campus where they are needed.
c) Off-Campus Locations: If you are at a location where neither the Health Centre nor Security services are available, seek care from an outside provider such as a local urgent care clinic or family doctor. Obtain a doctor’s note and provide this to your supervisor. If EMS is required, call 911.
INJURY REPORTING:
All injuries which occur on Humber property or during work-related activities off-campus must be reported to your supervisor and to Health & Safety Services.
- If you sustain a work-related injury, inform your supervisor as soon as possible.
- Once advised of an injury, Supervisors are to complete an Accident Reporting and Investigation Form and fax it to Health & Safety Services at: 416.675.4708 within 24 hours.
- When notified of an injury, the Humber Health Centres and/or Humber Security will also complete reports which are sent to Health & Safety Services.
- Health & Safety Services will, if necessary, report the injury to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
ONGOING COMMUNICATION
It is important to maintain ongoing communication with your supervisor, Health & Safety Services, and if necessary the WSIB, during your recovery period. For injuries of a more serious nature, Health & Safety Services will work with you, your doctor and your supervisor to ensure a safe and timely return to work.

The Lakeshore Campus of Humber College will again be hosting two literary readings during the 2017-2018 academic year. The readings will begin at 12 noon. They will occur in the Assembly Hall, 1 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Drive (at Kipling Avenue and Lakeshore Boulevard West.). The authors will read selections from their work. Afterwards there will be time for questions from the audience. The readings are free and open to the public.
Krista Bridge will open the series on Wednesday, October 25, 2017. Krista is the author of The Virgin Spy. This collection of short stories was shortlisted for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award and a ReLit Award. The Vancouver Sun advises that “… for [Krista Bridge’s] staggering talent and honesty, you shouldn’t pass over this superb collection of stories … sizzling language and alluring, memorable characters threatened by competing desires….” The Globe and Mail reports that “The Virgin Spy is entrancing, and Krista Bridge is vastly talented.”
Krista’s first novel, The Eliot Girls, a novel full of drama and insight into the world of an all-girls’ private school, was a finalist for the 2013 Amazon.ca First Novel Award. The Eliot Girls was also shortlisted for the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize.
Antanas Sileika will read on Wednesday, March 7, 2018. In 1979, Antanas began teaching at Humber College and working as a co-editor of the Canadian journal Descant. At Humber, he went on to become the director of the distinguished Humber School for Writers.
Antanas published his first novel, Dinner at the End of the World, in 1994. His second book, a collection of linked stories, Buying on Time, was nominated for the City of Toronto Book Award and the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour. His third book, Woman in Bronze, was published in 2004. It compares the life of a young man in Czarist Lithuania with his new life as a struggling sculptor in Jazz Age Paris. His last novel, Underground, was released in 2011. It was named as one of the Globe and Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2011. His latest book, The Barefoot Bingo Caller: A Memoir, has just been released. Of this book, award-winning author Miriam Toews proclaims that it “is evocative, unfailingly honest, wry and dead-on funny.”
