All employees, students, and users of services at Centennial College have a right to a safe working/learning environment. This right is legislated in federal and provincial laws such as the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and Ontario's Building, Fire, and Human Rights Codes. For your safety, at Centennial these rights, along with other related responsibilities, are outlined and enforced through our employee collective agreements, health, safety, security and dispute resolution policies and procedures. These policies and procedures apply to all college activities, services, and facilities. Copies of these policies are available at all Campus iCentres.

Along with these rights, come responsibilities. These responsibilities include but are not limited to obeying the general laws of the land, treating the College and all members of the college community with respect and honesty. This also includes cooperating with college officials such as security, lab monitors and professors, and when requested, providing proper identification.

Please report any safety and security concerns to Campus Security. They can help and will assist you in contacting the proper authorities. If you ever feel threatened on campus, take the following steps. Seek help or remove yourself from the situation or both if necessary. Then, report to Campus Security or call the Emergency Help Line at 416-439-4357 (HELP). (This is a free call from your Cell Phone or any campus pay phone.) Next, inform your program chair or manager. Security may also be contacted through the emergency phones located in the Progress parking lots.
