| 15 min | Safety Week | Karl, Derrick, Lucinda | Last year: Had one idea that didn't translate to reality but came up with another idea. - Each day during safety week, an email goes out to cover a different safety topic.
- Try to make the emails fun and lighthearted, but also with useful information
- Last year asked for soundtrack suggestions for each day's theme.
- Put together compilation and gave out prizes for suggestions.
- Do we know what this year will look like with Covid-seem to have reached endemic, but we are not certain.
- Several places are going back and forth on masking requirements
- Probably shouldn't give up on hybrid options although most people are pushing for in-person events.
- May need a hybrid option for those who require accommodations due to health concerns.
- Do we want to continue with the safety week emails? They have been done consistently for at least 10 years.
- In person events–would like to do fun items that are outdoors.
- Need to set dates soon. Traditionally done week 0 or the last week of intersession.
- Partners can do space specific safety trainings. Rachel can help facilitate those.
This year: - Do we want to do it after Fall term starts like last year or move it back to earlier.
- Teresa likes later because it involves students
- Erin agrees it is nice to include students in the events (such as including them in the emails–student employees distro list).
- Erin suggests not week 1 if we are going to do it after term starts.
- Perhaps week 3 (week of October 10)
- Library Inservice also hits in September so later gives staff some breathing room for planning.
- Discussed who might be involved in planning this year
- Discussed potential ideas for activities
- Passport idea?
- Disaster film festival? How do these show what not to do? Disaster Bingo?
- Can refer to meeting minutes from last year both in planning and discussions post-safety week.
