EAOS Update: FNH Pilot ready to engage

 

EAOS is happy to announce that Phase 1 of collecting the regulatory component of Boiler Pressure Vessels is 100% complete! The team was sent out to check a total of 75 chillers and boilers, and found more that weren’t on the initial list. Data collection was more helpful than expected.

Starting this week, the Food, Nutrition and Health asset collection pilots gets underway. Alongside the pilot, we will also be working on the process of where the data goes once it’s collected and how it will be kept up-to-date.

Work has also begun on EAOS goal #2: Roles and Responsibilities. Thank you Darko Jelic, Mark Lindsay and Richard Hugli for your involvement in our initial discussion on systems. We were able to categorize systems into 3 classification: Energized, Non-Energized and Special. More to come….stay tuned.

Reminder, you don’t have to walk alone after dark

Campus Safety is reminding all staff that as winter draws nearer, you don’t have to walk alone after dark if you don’t want to. These resources are available to you:

  • If there is a route that is convenient for you, consider taking Translink Community Shuttles to get around campus.
