WHMIS, Health and Safety Orientation, Accessibility (AODA) and Safe Campus will be available under menu item “Joinable Sites” on OWL. These joinable sites are restricted to individuals who have a record on My Human Resources including all Staff, Faculty, Associated Persons, Graduate Students and select Undergraduate Students enrolled in specific courses or programs which require safety training.
