Take Our Kids to Work Program is a program whereby Grade 9 students accompany their parent to work and observe them in their daily role as an employee. For more information on this program please visit the Environmental Health and Safety website.
The combined effect of cold air and wind speed is expressed as wind-chill temperature. Over the next few days, outdoor wind-chill temperatures are expected to be well below –25C. At these low temperatures, work in outdoor environments can present a significant risk for workers performing such work when appropriate precautions are not taken.
Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) are in a number of Guelph and Regional Campus facilities.
Training on the use of AEDs is available through every First Aid course. This 14 minute video will also provide a quick review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4J1YCR9pAc
