At the site level, workers (including graduate students conducting research projects) are responsible for reporting any hazards associated with the working environment, work tasks, or activities to their supervisor as soon as becoming aware of them. Supervisors and managers are responsible for completing site risk assessments for the work under their control and ensuring all risks are appropriately controlled before work begins.
At the department level, department heads, directors and chairs must be aware of hazards in their area of responsibility and ensure all risks are listed on the department’s Hazard Register and adequately controlled.
Over the next several months, the Safety Office will be managing the implementation of the Risk Assessment Program through training and direct support for department heads. For more information on this initiative, see the risk assessment page and contact the Safety Office with any questions.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
