Have you received a notice from the Testing Centre notifying you that a student requires an electronic copy of their exam? Are you unsure of how to go about making your document accessible? It is not hard – just a couple of steps are required!
Use of computer ≠ electronic format
Electronic format means that the student will need the document in .doc or .rtf in order to use assistive software while writing the exam. It is crucial that the electronic format is received two working days prior to the booking date outlined in the Test Centre email confirmation which you received.
Creating Accessible Documents:
Rich Text Format (.rtf) or a Microsoft Word Document (.doc) are the most suitable file formats to use for students who require an electronic copy for their accommodation when it comes to testing. This enables a student to use assistive software, such as Read & Write or Kurzweil, which they require to effectively complete an exam.
It is very simple to create a RTF file extension. If the test or exam has been created in Microsoft Word, please save a RTF copy by doing the following:
- Click FILE
- Click SAVE AS
- The click ‘Save as Type’ and select Rich Text Format (*.rtf) from the drop down menu
- Click SAVE and voila!
Once you have created this accessible exam, you can email it, along with the completed referral form to the appropriate email address as outlined on the referral form – PLEASE NOTE ONLY DISABILITY STUDENT EXAMS FOR THOSE WHO REQUIRE AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THEIR EXAM WILL BE ACCEPTED VIA EMAIL. ALL OTHERS SHOULD BE HARD COPY:
North Campus: dstestnorth@humber.ca
Lakeshore Campus: dstestlake@humber.ca
Carrier Drive Campus: dstestcarrier@humber.ca
Please do not send exams as PDFs – this is not an accessible format for adaptive software.
If you have any questions, please contact leah.barclay@humber.ca

Reporting Workplace Injuries
All injuries which occur on Humber property, or occur during work-related off campus activities, must be reported to your supervisor and Health & Safety Services.
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 A107 (North) and H206 (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 ext. 4000 (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 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.
