Hi,

At Loyalist, when perimeter doors are replaced, we install card access.  Our Pioneer Building has card readers at every main entrance.  There are other service doors but we have installed special cores keyed to the same cores as the electronic locks.  There are only 2 key copies and only available to a very limited amount of people in a lock box.   We have replaced 80% of our Kente Building (main building) with electronic locks with plan to do more as doors are replaced.   We have measures in place that at a push of a button, all perimeter doors can be locked.  Also, it as the doors are on a set schedule, lock/unlock complaints have been eliminated.

No metal detectors.  CCTV at every door, high coverage of public areas, working to improve in parking lots and grounds.  Newer technology/cameras have AI/facial recognition capabilities but not using it at this time.

Hope this helps

Hi Jamie,

At Loyalist, all in suite electrical panels are locked.  If a breaker is tripped, they must contact maintenance during work hours to reset.  If it is tripped after hours, Security will reset the breaker and note it on the guard report.

Hi,

At loyalist, we setup most of our VORs when going out for quote, usually RFP/RFQ.  We add wording in the tender or quoting package that the successful bidder or most recently bidders (2) will be setup as a VOR.  We add wording that the successful vendor will be added as a VOR asking the bidders to provide hourly, day, weekend, OT rates, travel, emergency response time etc…  For example:  AC1 rooftop has failed, working with Purchasing we go out for quote to replace a Rooftop unit valued at $20,000.  When awarded, we setup the vendor(s) on an HVAC VOR for future work and projects up to $99,999.  Vendors are setup for 3+1+1 years.  We have been successful in setting up plumbing, electrical, HVAC, Flooring for $99K and GC which is now set for construction projects at  over $300K.

We have also had some success with OECM.

Hope this helps you,

Chris

Hi,

At Loyalist, we are asking employees to speak to their manager.  Most managers are allowing their staff to work from home when the AQI is high.  Do to the constant flow of fresh air coming in to the building, we can’t prevent the smell from entering the building

Hi,

Loyalist has Code Blue stations and call posts. We do experience on an infrequent basis some communication issues, same as you noted but our IT department have always been able to correct in-house.

Hi Rich,

Loyalist does not have a formal signage authorization process. If you receive one, please forward on as I would like to implement one. The only thing we have in place is for departments posting signs, not to use tape, they must use Adhesive putty AKA “Ticky Tack”.

We deal with non-compliance:
– unauthorized unwanted signs: Contact the person to tell them to not post on campus. Involve our Police liaison officers as needed. We ask Facilities, Security and the cleaners to remove specific signs.
– Departments not posting properly such as using duct tape, we contact the Dean or Manager to immediately address. We tell them if there are any damages will be charged back (We never do)

We have not tried anything innovative as an approach

Chris.

Hello Oxana,

Purchasing will forward the required documentation to Facilities to review. It is Facilities responsibility to ensure it meets CSA ULC… When the equipment is received, in most cases we are directly involved with the installation which will include an ESA inspection. Should it fail and require modifications, we will work with the equipment owner to modify the equipment, field test it to obtain certification. In some case, if it out of our expertise we will contract out the installation and modification at the owner’s expense.

When there is a dispute if the equipment is or is not compliant, we will ask ESA to perform an inspection.

Hope this helps.

Hi Derek,

Common spaces have been closed throughout. Depending on the phase, we did have a few (very little) cafeteria seats available. They were cleaned between each person. We had a card on the table that was green ok to sit and red on the other side “Requires Sanitization”. When you sat down you flipped the paper over. Seating was right beside where the staff were working so it worked well.
