Parking lots can provide opportunity for safety risks such as slips, falls and personal security concerns. As a reminder for all employees, please prioritize personal safety when walking to and from parking areas—especially during early morning or late evening hours.
Here are a few safety practices to keep in mind:
- If you ever feel unsafe, please contact Security for assistance by using the emergency blue pole in the parking lot or calling 807-684-6509.
- Avoid walking to the parking lots alone. Whenever possible, leave with a co-worker or group of staff or request a Security escort.
- Do not leave your vehicle running or unlocked. The recent incident involved someone approaching cars that were running.
- Stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Avoid distractions such as using your phone while walking.
- If you have a personal alarm – don’t hesitate to use it.
- Report any suspicious behavior immediately to Security at 807-684-6509. Consider saving this number in your personal device.
- In cases of imminent danger – call 911.
Your safety and well-being is important and we want you to feel supported. By following the above tips, we can reduce risks and ensure a safer environment for everyone.
If you have any concerns or would like to report a situation then we ask that you contact Occupational Health and Safety 807-684-6240.
