Inspections

There are several types of inspections in the workplace. As a contractor, you are required to conduct documented inspection of your workplace. SFU requires and expect all contractors to perform routine workplace safety inspection to ensure their worksite on campus are healthy and safe for their staff and the SFU community. All workplace inspection must be documented and immediately submitted to the designated project file in the SFU Contractor Safety Management System.

Incident, Near Miss and Safety Concerns

All incident, near miss and safety concerns on your worksite or on campus, must be immediately reported to SFU. Depending on urgency and the nature of the incident or concern, 911 and SFU Campus Security may need to be the first to be contacted. All incident and concerns are to be reported and documented through the SFU Contractor Safety Management System.

All contractors are required to follow and have an incident investigation/management program in accordance to the BC Occupational Health and Safety Regulation and Worker Compensation Act of BC.

Safety Meetings

There are many types of safety meetings. At SFU, contractors are required to contact safety meetings that discuss with the contractor's workers on project/work specific safety related topics, such as incidents, procedures/policies, inspections, safety concerns, communications, hazardous building materials report, and anything that is important to review with workers on site.

Safety meetings are the responsibilities of the contractors to implement and maintain while working on campus.
