FROM: THE SAFETY COMMITTEE
RE: First Aid Facilities

In response to concerned students, faculty, staff, and WCB regulations,
the Safety Committee is endeavouring to up-grade and generally ensure
adequate first-aid facilities on campus.

First Aid regulations as outlined in WCB pamphlets pose some problems
considering the temporary nature of most buildings on campus. The

plans for a permanent structure at Richmond Campus have incorporated

in them adequate first-aid facilities, but at the present moment, the
Safety Committee is making representation to the Administration to
provide facilities which conform as closely as possible to the model

layed out in the WCB regulations. This states that the College comes
under the heading of a Class C institution which requires a first-aid
attendant with an Industrial First-Aid Certificate and a First-Aid

Room which must be used for no other purpose other than to administer
first-aid.

We are fortunate that all three campuses are less that 15 minutes from
emergency hospitalization services.

The need for adequate first-aid facilities are of importance to the College
Community as a whole and where the implementation of first-aid facilities
may disrupt some existing arrangements, we are sure that staff and faculty

will appreciate the wider needs of the entire college.
