Work safely and follow all health and safety procedures, including safe lifting/mobility practices, PPE, and reporting hazards, incidents, or injuries promptly.
Participate in required training (e.g., WHMIS, safe lifting, violence/harassment prevention, outbreak/IPAC training) and follow supervisor directions for safe work.
Help maintain a safe environment for residents, visitors, and staff by identifying risks early and escalating concerns.
Follow the Home’s emergency procedures (e.g., fire, evacuation, missing resident, power disruption, outbreak surge workflows) and participate in drills and emergency preparedness education as required.
