WorkSafeBC Update

 

Please see the below  UBC Broadcast for all staff and faculty regarding new COVID-19 requirements from WorkSafeBC.  You can utilise the self assessment tool here.

For staff – those who have been approved to enter the workplace either full time or as part of approved research resumption you are now required to let your supervisor know at the start of each shift when you are on-site only that you have completed a self assessment and are free of COVID symptoms.

For faculty who are in a research setting – those who have been approved as part of approved research resumption could you please email me directly at the start of each shift when you are on-site only that you have completed a self assessment and are free of COVID symptoms.

For faculty in a clinical setting – until the FoM has confirmed otherwise, please continue to adhere to the Health Authority policies around COVID testing and reporting.

For staff and faculty who are working remotely no action is required.  However, if you need ad-hoc access to your site please continue to email me regarding the day, time and reason you require access. As an additional step I will require that you email me the day of entry to confirm you have completed a self assessment and are free of COVID symptoms before entering the premises.  ​
