Health and safety is a very important, but often overlooked topic when it comes to library operations. Lethbridge Public Library has spent the past few year re-focusing on health and safety and ensuring management and staff are well informed of all our health and safety policies and procedures.
The session will review what Lethbridge Public Library has done in regards to health and safety and how other libraries can translate that information to their organizations. Topics covered will include: Evacuation, shelter-in-place and lockdown plans Crisis response plans Health and safety policies Staff co-operation and training Working with your municipality Workers compensation responsibilities Mental Heath in the workplace
