A short BLOG today as the blog master is away!!😁

From Sharon and Tammy:

Please note there was an additional email we sent out to you this week with some important information. 

Other news:

Parking Services:

Effective August 1st

Parking Services is eliminating the ability to car-pool to the Lot 15 & Stadium parkade park & ride locations/shuttles. Every Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) employee will be required to scan their SHA prox card when boarding the shuttle. This will ensure all users who pay for the park & ride service are the only users riding the shuttle.

Shuttle drivers will not permit anyone on the shuttle if they do not scan their prox card/havetheir SHA ID badge verifying that they are an SHA employee.

Anyone wishing to sign up to park in Lot 15 can do so by visiting the parking office.

If your prox card signals invalid and you do pay for the park & ride service, please contact the parking office to have corrected.

Thank you for your understanding on this

 

Important information from Environmental Services:

There is a huge safety hazard to staff attempting to change out the carts in the basement below. 

When a door is open / unlocked it prevents lockout in the basement:

• Linen bags can still be dropped down the chute
• The soiled linen bags are often heavy and come down the chute in a matter of a couple of seconds
• Staff may not have enough time to move out of the way of oncoming bag
• The velocity of the bag coming down the chute has the potential to cause serious harm or death
• The electrical panel at the far wall adjacent the chute is evidence of the extreme force some linen bags are projected from the chute exit

**PLEASE DO NOT PROP OPEN CHUTE DOOR > FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY
