I am pleased to announce that Humber College now has a centralized corporate policy presence on the college website, which contains all approved policies in a new template. Related procedures are also included with the policies, where applicable.
Background:
In September 2011, Humber College began a comprehensive review of its institutional policies. A Humber Policy and Procedure Advisory Committee was established, representing all areas of the college, to provide oversight on the development of a new policy framework. Since that time, a policy framework has been developed including policy and procedure templates, existing policies have been updated and new policies identified for development.
How to Find:
The new Policies and Procedures page can be found under About Humber, Corporate Information, Policies and Procedures (http://www.humber.ca/policies-and-procedures). The page is designed so that students, staff, visitors and the general public can search by policy name, category, alpha listing or policies applying to students. There are 20 policies posted currently and we will continue to work on new and revised policies to add to this over the months ahead.
If you have any questions, please contact Tanya Perdikoulias at 416.675.6622 ext. 4423 or tanya.perdikoulias@humber.ca.

Do you work with chemical products or hazardous materials?
Do you know what the potential hazards are and how to protect yourself and others?
Before using any product, whether it is WHMIS-controlled, or purchased off the shelf as a consumer product, it is important to know the hazards associated with that material and how to protect yourself and people around you.
Remember these important safety tips:
Tips for Using, Handling and Storing Chemicals Safely:
- Read the product’s label and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using the product and as often as necessary to remain familiar with the product’s hazards and how to use it safely.
- Report any missing MSDSs or missing/damaged labels to your supervisor.
- Follow the instructions and safe work practices provided by your supervisor.
- Be familiar with the health and safety procedures to follow in the event of fire, chemical spill, or medical emergency.
- Use all required personal protective equipment (PPE) which may include items such as gloves, safety goggles, face shield and respiratory protection.
- Be aware of chemical incompatibilities. Mixing incompatible chemicals together can initiate dangerous and unpredictable reactions.
- If you are unsure, ask your supervisor and get the information you need.
Employees who work with WHMIS-controlled products, or supervise those who do, are required to complete Humber’s WHMIS Blackboard training course. Course registration is coordinated by Health and Safety Services.
