⛑️ Safety TIPs ☣️
1. Daylight Savings Time starts – Sunday March 9 at 2:00am;
On March 9, set your clocks forward one hour. In anticipation of losing one hour of sleep, here are some tips to ease the effects of the switch:
- Rest up: go to bed earlier to get your usual amount of sleep so you can be well rested and alert
- Plan ahead: give yourself extra time to drive to and from work especially during the Monday commute
- Step up the safety: take extra safety precautions on days following the switch to help avoid workplace incidents. Schedule particularly hazardous work later in the week (where possible) after everyone have had more time to adjust their sleep schedules
2. Drop, cover and hold on
On February 21, an earthquake rattled the UBC Vancouver campus. No damage was reported and there has been no known impact on campus operations. Please contact the Facilities Service Centre at 604-822-2173 if you have noticed any damages.
Remember to drop, cover and hold on during an earthquake. Earthquakes can happen suddenly and without warning, so knowing what to do during and after an earthquake is very critical to ensure safety.
