Incidents and First Aid
All UBC Campus Security personnel are trained First Aid Attendants: in the event that first aid is needed, call 604-822-2222. If it is a medical emergency, call 911, then 604-822-2222 as UBC Campus Security can respond and be on-scene faster.
Incident Reports
Team Members must inform their Safety Officer, as well as the Safety and Facilities Officer ASAP in the event of an incident or a near-incident. You should also notify your faculty advisor(s). It required that your team’s Safety Officer fill out an Online Incident Account form on the UBC Centralized Incident / Accident Reporting System (CAIRS). This form provides UBC with the information it requires to identify potential lapses in safety and areas for improvement, as well as ensuring that the appropriate steps have been taken to remediate the incident. You will be required to login with your CWL credentials to access the form.
Liability Insurance
Student teams are often required to carry Liability Insurance in order to compete in events or test their projects in certain facilities. UBC may provide student teams with Liability Insurance. To request a certificate of insurance for your team, plan in advance a minimum of 2 weeks lead time. Contact the Engineering Design Team Coordinator (team.engineering@ubc.ca) with information including: the facility requesting the certificate of insurance, any specific terms that are required, and the dates which the facility will be used.
