Health & Safety
Banff Centre has a Health and Safety program in place that follows these guiding principles:
- Reduce incidents and accidents
- Improve safe work practices
- Promote communication and improve attitudes on health and safety throughout Banff Centre
- Provide the necessary tools and systems to build and maintain a healthy and safe work environment
If you are working with hazardous materials (solids, liquids, or gases), operating power tools, or doing rigging during your residency, inform yourself about safety requirements. A mandatory studio orientation by your facilitator/program delivery specialist covers health, safety, and studio equipment training prior to access.
You are responsible for understanding and following safe work practices (SWP), personal protective equipment (PPE), and the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS). You are required to supply your own approved safety footwear if requested by your department.
All accidents, incidents, or near-misses must be reported to your program coordinator or supervisor and an incident report completed. If needed, a WCB Report will also be completed; this must be submitted within 24 hours of an incident.
