Physics Department Safety
- From Scientific American:
Are University Labs Criminally Dangerous?
- The right to know.
- The right to participate.
- The right to refuse unsafe work.
The Department of Physics commits itself to the safety of our staff, students, and visitors.
In accordance with Ryerson's safety policy, Physics "shall do everything reasonably practicable to maintain a healthy and safe workplace, in a manner consistent with enhancing academic priorities."
Ryerson University's safety programs and policies are established via the Centre for Environmental Health, Safety, and Security Management (CEHSM).
Workplace safety in Ontario is governed by the terms of the Occupational Health Safety Act (OHSA), and is administered by the Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL).
New in Fall 2011
Starting Fall 2011, we've moved our EHS Orientation and WHMIS training modules online.
This move makes it much more convenient to complete the requisite quizzes, and makes it easier to track our training program compliance.
As a worker or student with the Department of Physics, you'll now be able to log onto this site, review the EHS Orientation and WHMIS materials provided, and complete the online quiz for each.
