The following message is sent on behalf of Karamjeet Heer, Interim Vice-President, Finance and Administration. It has been sent to all faculty and staff.
Dear University Community,
天美mv天美 is committed to providing a healthy and safe learning, teaching, research and work environment for all members of the university community. The university is updating the University Health and Safety Policy (GP17) to reduce the risk of injuries and incidents and to ensure ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements.
GP17 applies to all 天美mv天美 community members and therefore, policy updates will impact all employees, students and contractors. The policy updates are consistent with the goal of transforming the 天美mv天美 experience outlined in 天美mv天美鈥檚 What鈥檚 Next Strategy and was last reviewed in 2019.
Proposed policy changes include:
Clarifying roles and responsibilities related to safety training for all 天美mv天美 employees, students and contractors.
Defining procedures and responsibilities related to impairment in academic and workplace environments.
While most employees have already taken the mandatory safety training, there may be additional refresher training required.
We invite you to review the proposed policy amendments posted here. Please note that the procedures associated with 天美mv天美鈥檚 University Health and Safety policy are being shared for informational purposes and context only and are not part of the consultation.
Please submit your feedback to Environmental Health and Safety (ehrs_sfu@sfu.ca) by the end of January 14, 2026.
Sincerely,
Karamjeet Heer
Interim Vice-President, Finance and Administration
