The Internal Responsibility System (IRS) gives everyone within the University direct responsibility for health and safety as an essential part of his or her job. No matter who or where the person is in the University, all are to achieve health and safety in a way that suits the kind of work they do. Each person takes initiative on health and safety issues and works to solve problems and make improvements on an ongoing basis. They do this both singly and cooperatively with others. Successful implementation of the IRS should result in progressively longer intervals between accidents or work-related illnesses.

The University supports the Internal Responsibility System (IRS) by giving all employees the right to participate as members of the Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC).
For more information, please view our Joint Health and Safety Committee Terms of Reference (PDF).

JHSC Minutes are posted on the Health & Safety Boards and can be found on the Public Drive.

Resources

Health and Safety (H&S) at Algoma University provides comprehensive consulting and advisory services on all health and safety-related matters. The team plays a critical role in fostering a culture of safety across campus by developing and implementing programs that promote safe and healthy operations for students, faculty, and staff.

In addition to these proactive measures, the H&S team takes a lead role in responding to incidents and emergencies. This includes managing and supporting the university in situations involving workplace injuries, hazardous material spills, and public health threats. We handle the entire incident management process—from initial response and investigation to corrective action planning—ensuring that risks are identified, mitigated, and that the university community is well-protected.

As Algoma University’s primary resource for environmental health and safety, the H&S team is dedicated to maintaining a safe learning and working environment. We conduct a wide range of activities, including safety training programs, risk assessments, and thorough investigations, all while ensuring compliance with both university policies and external regulatory requirements. By staying vigilant and maintaining high standards, the H&S team ensures the university remains aligned with the best practices in health and safety management.
