Mandatory Training for all Workers

New Worker Safety Orientation

The New Worker Safety Orientation covers general safety information that all workers must be aware of before beginning to work at UBC. Once the general safety course is complete, workers must also participate in a site specific safety orientation as each area will have their own safety procedures (i.e. meeting area during a building evacuation, etc.).
