Fire extinguisher concerns?
Do you have an extinguisher that is due for inspection or has an apparent defect? Does an extinguisher require a refill? Contact Emergency Measures and Fire Prevention at 3473.
Hazards in your own Department?
If the hazard you wish to correct arises from activities in your own department, the first person to speak with is your supervisor. He or she is responsible for ensuring you are able to conduct your work safely. If this does not work, try speaking with a representative on your departmental safety committee. If you work in a department involved in laboratory work, there should be a committee in place.
Need first aid supplies?
Check your first aid kit frequently to make sure it contains everything it is supposed to. See a list of the minimum contents for a first-aid kit, provided by the CSST, along with a few other suggested items.
For the name(s) of supplier(s) who sell first-aid kits and supplies at a discounted rate for McGill staff and students, see our page on Ordering supplies.
