Mandatory Training Requirements for all UBC Employees
All UBC employees are required to complete all of the following five on-line training modules .
In order to accept your offer(s), you must confirm that you have completed all modules (includes both parts of Privacy Matters). All modules must be completed prior to your TA appointment start date, and your certificates of completion must be furnished as required. We will be confirming your compliance to this mandatory training by periodically running reports.
Regarding mandatory training workshops (https://wpl.ubc.ca): Once your appointment is processed on the system, your Campus-Wide Login (CWL) will be activated and you will then be able to access the mandatory online training. Please complete the following four training modules (https://wpl.ubc.ca/). There will be a completion certificate at the end of each module. Please upload your completion certificates to TRMS (Training Records Management System – https://training-report.landfood.ubc.ca/). Please note that the LFS General Guide also needs to be printed, completed and uploaded in the TRMS as well.
Mandatory Training for all Workers
1. New Worker Safety Orientation
The New Worker Safety Orientation covers general safety information that all workers must be aware of before beginning to work at UBC. Once the general safety course is complete, workers must also receive a site specific safety orientation as each area will have their own safety procedures (i.e. meeting area during a building evacuation, etc…).
2. Preventing and Addressing Workplace Bullying and Harassment Training
At UBC, we strive to provide a safe, respectful and productive work environment for our faculty, staff and student employees. The Respectful Environment Statement sets out the expectations of everyone who is a member of the UBC community in this regard.
Bullying or harassment are behaviours that prevent us from the kind of respectful and productive environment envisioned in the Respectful Environment Statement. Bullying or harassment are not acceptable and will not be tolerated at UBC.
This website provides information for UBC faculty, staff and student employees on how to prevent bullying and harassment in the workplace; how to handle and report bullying and harassment; and how to support a respectful environment in the workplace.
3. Workplace Violence Prevention Training
All workers must know how to respond in a potentially threatening or violent situation. The Workplace Violence Prevention Training covers general personal security information. Departments may also have site specific procedures.
4. & 5. Privacy & Information Security Fundamentals, Parts 1 and 2
Information sharing is so common today that it is understandable for people to become complacent about privacy and information security. Yet, everyone has the right to expect their personal information to remain safe and secure.
At UBC, we are responsible for substantial amounts of personal information about students, faculty, staff, alumni, and donors. Protecting this information is everyone’s responsibility.
As part of the UBC Mandatory Training, online training is now available for all faculty and staff.
NOTE for #6: COVID-19 trainings are no longer required or offered. If you have already completed it and sent in your certificate to TMRS, your certificate is still on file. Also, the checkbox in the LFS TA Application may still appear checked in your Additional Information tab.
6. UBC Go Forward COVID-19 Safety Planning Training
All faculty, staff and student staff who are performing work on campus must take the online course UBC Go Forward COVID-19 Safety Planning Training. This course is designed to help UBC faculty, staff and student-staff work safely by following provincial direction on reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection and transmission and is an important element of the on-campus work resumption process.
This course replaces the previous ‘Preventing COVID-19 Infection in the Workplace’ course.
This course consists of a 15-20 min online module followed by a quiz.
