Forms and Policies
Forms
All new personnel are required to complete and submit some forms to either their departmental office or to the Health, Safety and Risk Management Office. This ensures that we have the most accurate and up-to-date knowledge possible about who is working at the Health Sciences Campus at any given time. Please download these forms to your device in order to fill them in.
The Access and Overview for New Personnel form is mandatory for all newcomers to the Health Sciences Campus and has multiple purposes. It acts as a checklist for relevant trainings, allows personnel to request access cards and/or keys, and gives personnel an important overview of workplace health and safety protocols. Download the Access form for New and Existing Personnel to your device to fill it in, print it and submit it.
If you have an active access card or set of keys, and need to request a change to your level of access, please complete the Access form for New and Existing Personnel by downloading it to your device, filling it in, printing it and submitting it to the same office that you submitted the Access and Overview Form for New Personnel.
Waivers/Informed Consent Forms
Waiver Forms or Informed Consent Forms are required for all unpaid personnel working at the Health Sciences Campus. Please note that waiver forms and the informed consent forms are tailored to specific situations, so supervisors, students and volunteers are required to contact the Health, Safety and Risk Management Office (medsafety@uottawa.ca) to start the process of creating the appropriate form.
