Hello,
This morning someone was found sleeping the second floor women's bathroom. I would like us all to be more vigilant and take precautions.
1. If you are is the building, especially after hours, and unsure if a person is allowed to be here, and you feel unsafe and/or cannot find a colleague to assist you in determining their right to be in the building, please contact security. 2. Anyone entering the building should have a key for access. Do not leave an outside door unlocked or propped open. 3. If you do not feel safe, get a colleague, or call for a safe-walk, to accompany you to your vehicle or to where you are going (e.g. bus stop, etc.). Plan ahead as much as possible. 4. Ensure all doors to labs, offices and other rooms (e.g. lunch room in the basement) are locked. Again, anyone with permitted access to the rooms will have a key.
Remember, our actions can impact others. Please take care and be safe.
