USB LOCKER AUDIT

Personal lockers are assigned to Building Operations staff based on the type of work they are performing and the office space they may have.  Our goal is to ensure field staff have one locker when working in Building Operations.  These lockers are meant for storage of personal belongings (like work boots, rain gear, etc.) not tools or supplies.

We are conducting a locker audit in the upcoming weeks. Employees with a locker in the USB hallway will see a note posted on your locker. Please assist with this audit and return completed forms to USB Reception by June 30, 2019 to ensure we meet the above goals.

If we do not receive the audit form prior to June 30, 2019 we will remove the lock and send the contents to a local charity.

For more information please contact April Wong at april.wong@ubc.ca
