The University of Lethbridge Environment Health and Safety (EHS) Policy is the foundation for the Environment, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS). All faculty members, employees, students, volunteers, contractors and visitors are required to comply with the University’s EHS policy as well as all related procedures, codes of practice, guidelines and all applicable legislation.
Responsibilites for health and safety are defined in the Policy and the EHSMS. Learn more about leadership, commitment and responsibilities here.
The EHSMS Responsiblity Summary provides a concise list of responsibilities for employees and supervisors.
Supervisors can use the Worksite Tours Template to document informal worksite visits.
