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. 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. Here is the line-up for day one:

• Are You Prepared for an Emergency? – presented by Cindy MacDougall, Emergency Management Coordinator, UPEI; Monday, October 23, 12:05–12:55 pm, KMB 211
• Floor/Area Warden Training – presented by Mark Pharand, Manager of Security Services, Monday, October 23, 3:00–4:00 pm, ICC 104

Throughout the week, we encourage you to participate in the "Safety Hunt - Photo Edition" and "Get Caught, Working Safely!" activity for more great safety-themed prizes. For more details, view the full UPEI Safety Week 2017 Calendar of Events
