UPEI Safety Week 2017

Event Date:
The Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee is pleased to present the first annual UPEI Safety Week, October 23–27. The week-long schedule of educational and fun activities is designed to create awareness and encourage all faculty, staff and students to develop and maintain a safe study and work environment year-round. We encourage everyone to participate!  For each attendance at an education session, participants will receive a ballot that will go into a draw for a two-person, 72-hour emergency kit. In addition, one person at each session will win a safety-themed prize. In addition to a number of scheduled events, these fun activities will run all week:   Safety Scavenger Hunt – Photo Edition!   Beginning Monday morning and ending Friday afternoon, this photo scavenger hunt will take participants to various locations, people and items across campus related to safety. Throughout the week, items will be added to the Safety Hunt List and participants will post photos of themselves with the item to the UPEI Safety Week 2017 Facebook page. Each photo will earn a ballot towards a great prize package. Collect one photo item or collect them all—it is up to you. Safety Scavenger Hunt list, contest rules, and prizes details can be found on the Safety Scavenger Hunt page.Get Caught Working Safely Throughout the week, the Health, Safety and Environment Department will partner with senior members of UPEI and UPEISU administration to visit different buildings and areas on campus and catch those in the campus community working safely.
