Angie Best AODA: Integrated Standard – New Requirement as of January 2012 (Emergency procedures)
Trent University is committed to the safety of all it’s members. The AODA legislation has established parameters for supporting persons with disabilities in emergency situations and produces workplace emergency response protocols. Two requirements have come into law under the Integrated Standard of the AODA: (Information & Communications: Section #13: Emergency procedure, plans or public safety information and Employment: Section #27: Workplace emergency response information) We are required to ensure that all our emergency procedures, plans and safety information are in accessible formats and that all members of the Trent community have the opportunity to develop an individualized emergency plan based on the needs of their disability. The Office of Human Rights, Equity and Accessibility (OHREA) and the Risk Management Office are working together to provide the opportunity for any member of the Trent community to request an individualized emergency plan. We are asking the all members of the Trent community to review the Emergency Response Procedures.
