The Canadian Encyclopedia

The new Canadian Encyclopedia, published by
Hertig, is now available in the library.

 

This new work has been eagerly awaited by the
academic community. The authority of the
encyclopedia is supported by an impressive list
of consultants which runs for two pages. To this
must be added a list of contributors totalling

19 pages! The range of topics covered is
excellent. For example, every ethnic group and
religious sect gets an entry. The Canadian
Encyclopedia is the new standard work on
Canada as a whole. Faculty members are invited
to spend some time looking at this excellent new
work located in REF.FR23 C362 1985.

Air Handling Units

In order to obtain the most effective use of the
air circulation system in CLASSROOMS we
would like to remind faculty members of the
following conditions.

|. The air circulation system was designed to
function best "WITH CLASSROOM DOORS
CLOSED. Open doors are counterproductive
to the system.

 

2. The switch with decal "switch on for air
conditioning" must be on to activate the
air circulation system.

When film and overhead projectors are being
used, it would be desirable to leave on the
special bank of lights.

a The Douglas College Health
& Safety Committee

would like to be fully informed about health and
safety issues arising in the College. We encourage
communications from staff, students, faculty
and administrators on matters that involve health
and safety.

The Health and Safety Committee is constituted
under Workers' Compensation Board regulations
and serves inan advisory capacity to the manage-
ment of the College. The College is responsible
for the initiation and maintenance of a workplace
health and safety program.

By regulation: the Committee is structured to
ensure equal representational status for
Management and employee participants; all
decisions are by majority vote; management and
staff alternate in co-chairing meetings.

Our work as advisors requires that we be aware
of information, concerns, and complaints
regarding health and safety issues in our work-
place. We also welcome questions and advice.

In the past, the Committee has discussed issues
such as: the provision of first aid attendants,
safety considerations for disabled students,
building air quality, the need for an emergency
evacuation plan, the safe functioning of techni-
cal equipment, cleanliness standards in wash-
rooms, safety measures for the concourse, and
security provisions, among other items. As well,
the Committee is charged with ensuring that
workplace inspections are carried out. Copies of
the Committee's terms of reference can be
obtained from any member.

We would like to ask that copies of all correspon-
dence on health and safety-related issues be
directed to the Committee via its members:
