Mandatory Employee Return to Campus Training – COVID-19

As we prepare to welcome back more staff and students to campus this Fall, the health and safety of the Humber community continues to be our top priority. Following the latest public health and government recommendations, we have put in place a range of measures to help ensure health and safety on campus.

As mentioned in last week’s message from Humber’s Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees, a mandatory employee training module has been created. All employees must complete the COVID-19 Awareness Training for Humber Employees before they physically return to campus, or by September 15, 2020, whichever comes first. The training covers the risks of COVID-19, methods of transmission, on campus safety measures, and more.

The mandatory employee training is now available on Blackboard and the instructions for accessing the training are below. If you do not have access to Blackboard, please contact Occupational Health and Safety at healthandsafety@humber.ca to make alternate arrangements. The training should take approximately one hour to complete.

If you have questions about the training or if you have concerns about health and safety, please contact your manager.

I would like to thank the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees for their support and input into the training. Health and Safety is a shared responsibility. This training, together with the Return to Campus Agreement and the daily self-assessment on the Humber Guardian App, are steps we must all take to keep ourselves and each other safe.

Thank you for adhering to the new measures we have put in place on campus to keep our community safe. Whether onsite or virtually, we welcome you back to campus this Fall.
