School District No. 40 (New Westminster) employees undergo Employee Health and Safety Orientation. This course is coordinated by Human Resources upon being hired.  In addition, employees may also reference the Employee Occupational Safety Handbook for information.

If as a School District employee, you have not undergone Employee Health and Safety training, please contact your supervisor or the Occupational Safety Officer to get set up.

Employees who work with chemicals (controlled products) also undergo WHMIS training. Contact your Supervisor or the Occupational Safety Officer to get set up.
