2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 4 of 47 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Trends

Security Services: While there was a considerable decrease in the overall volume of reported incidents downtown under “Incidents against Property” (esp. “Theft of under $5000,” with 171 in 2018-2019 vs. 124 in 2019-2020) and under “Incidents against the Person” (esp. “Threats or Harassment”, with 20 in 2018- 2019 vs. 14 in 2019-2020), the trend for “Incidents against Good Order” during the same reporting period was on the rise. Numbers increased in all categories except “Drug or Liquor Law Violations” and “Weapons Law Violations” (p. 26). The total number of weekly calls received by the Macdonald Campus Security Operations Centre (SOC) decreased from an average of 62 per week in 2018-2019 to an average of 51 per week in 2019-2020, representing a reduction of 18% (p. 24). Notably, the decrease occurred primarily in the “Miscellaneous” category with 44 in 2018-2019 vs. 30 in 2019-2020. The overall decreases largely resulted from the fact that McGill University ended its contractual obligation to provide security services for John Abbott College since June 2019. A marked increase was noted in “Alarms” (unauthorized exit/entry, fire panel trouble, PC tab alarms, etc.), with 4 reported in 2018-2019 vs. 9 in 2019-2020 (a 55% upsurge). Numbers for “Unsecured Areas,” “Emergency Calls,”, “Criminal Incidents,” and “Provide assistance” were relatively stable.

Fire Prevention: An increase of 13% in the overall number of alarms on our campuses is to some extent attributed to a rise in construction activities at Macdonald campus (p. 20). The majority of increases in the number of alarms in Residences is caused by cooking incidents. With regards to Building Evacuation Exercises, FPO conducted fire drills in 136 out of 146 required buildings, with a success rate of 93%.

Environmental Health and Safety: In 2019-2020, the revamped Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System 2015 (WHMIS-2015) course was recorded for online delivery. Approximately 2,000 people participated in the new live course, bringing the numbers for all EHS safety course registrations to 4,739, an increase from last year. The outstanding action items remaining in the 2017 Internal Audit Report on Environmental Health and Safety are relating to IT requirements, such as a new call ticket system, an incident tracking system to enable statistical analysis. In the meantime, statistics are collected manually twice per year. In March 2019, another Internal Audit was completed for asbestos processes at McGill. Although EHS was the main stakeholder in many of the findings, most were related to quality control issues and dedicating more time to asbestos management. An action plan was prepared, which included hiring a full-time professional to advance asbestos management, and the regularizing process has begun for one technician position who was employed on contract basis. EHS continues to manage the licensing of the research labs and perform the lab inspections of these facilities as required by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. Due to the discontinued service level agreement between EHS & the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), the MNI assumes responsibility for the Cyclotron and the Positron Emission Topography (PET) Unit. EHS is conducting fit tests for asbestos employees, animal care workers, and lab personnel around chemical fume hoods, hazardous waste handlers, and emergency handlers. The service that fit tests N95, half-face, and full-face respirators has also been officially extended to students unable to be fit-tested at the Wellness Hub. In 2019-2020, EHS reported 671 service calls, a marginal decrease, but still on par with the trend over the past several years. There was a decrease in calls for: Accident, Incident, and Occupational Disease Investigations, Animal Use Protocols, Asbestos Requests, and Indoor Air Quality, while Ergonomic Assessments and Safety Training Requests have increased in the past months. Virtual ergonomic intervention meetings were also introduced as a service initiated since the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. We completed 112 in-person ergonomic assessments from June 2019 to March 2020 and 12 virtual ergonomic assessments from March to May 2020.

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 5 of 47 EMP COVID-19 Response  The University’s Emergency Operations Centre activated on January 24th, 2020, to respond to the emerging coronavirus risk in China. The Emergency Management & Preparedness unit, and other units within Campus Public Safety, have been fully mobilized to support the response to this unprecedented incident. To date, this has been the longest activation for the University’s emergency response system (p. 30).

Capacity Building  This year, Risk Advisory and Insurance Services were merged into Campus Public Safety (CPS). The Risk Advisory and Insurance Services team continues to manage insurance policies and programs, while engaging with McGill academic and administrative units to increase awareness on risk and insurance matters. Their integration into CPS under Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) will also further strengthen the close collaborations already established with other FMAS units.  Led by Security Services, the CFT process for the Records Management System & Computer Aided Dispatch software has continued and is planned to go out by early Fall 2020. Going forward, once the system is selected and purchased, we will require a full-time equivalent (FTE) to implement the system and manage its day-to-day usage and operations.  Security Services purchased temporary bollards to secure and facilitate events on campus, such as Convocation, Frosh/OAP, and other big events on campus, as well as to thwart campus intrusions if electronic bollards are malfunctioning.  A collaboration with our new security agency provider, GardaWorld, allowed us to resolve staffing issues, ultimately assisting Security Services in better serving the McGill community (p. 29).  EHS welcomed a new Laser Safety Officer to oversee the growing laser safety program on campus (p. 31).  EHS filled the position of Occupational Hygiene Officer, allowing the unit to persevere in its mission to promote its asbestos management program (p. 31).

Moving Forward (2020-2021)  Having purchased a new Incident Management System (IMS), Security Services will take on the considerable project of implementing it, as many of its functions relate to our Security Operations on both campuses (p. 32).  Security Services at Macdonald campus will be focusing on a new parking management software in order to align itself with Parking Services on the downtown campus. This will correspondingly require modifications to the Macdonald campus parking website (p. 32).  The Fire Prevention Office will focus on installing all alarm monitoring boxes and connecting them to the alarm monitoring central (p. 32).  EMP will develop a comprehensive pandemic response plan based on its response to the COVID- 19 pandemic (p. 33).  EHS will launch the myLab Laboratory Information Cards (LICs) to display safety and emergency information on lab doors.  EHS will launch a new course registration & training management system in 2020.  EHS will launch the online WHMIS-2015, followed with more online safety training courses.  With funding from the Sustainability Project Fund (SPF) and FMAS, Hazardous Waste Management will install a biomedical waste sterilization system. The project is at the CFT stage after delays due to budgetary constraints.

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 6 of 47 Key Needs  Now that the RMS and CAD have gone out to tender, Campus Public Safety will need to plan its implementation as quickly and as efficiently as possible, as it is a much-needed tool that will benefit all seven units that are now a part of Campus Public Safety.  A key project that will increase the effectiveness of Security Services on Macdonald Campus is the renovation of their offices, which will provide a better working environment for staff and assist in delivering superior services to the community.  Security Services will be replacing the Operations Manager at Macdonald campus, as well as the Physical Security Consultant position that serves both campuses, as a result of a retirement and a resignation.  For EHS, the outstanding items remaining to be addressed relate mostly to IT requirements.

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 7 of 47 1 INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes the events and activities related to issues of health and safety at McGill University for the period of May 1st, 2019 to April 30th, 2020. The scope of this report includes all aspects of safety, reflecting the mandate of the safety units under Campus Public Safety (Security Services, Fire Prevention, Emergency Management & Preparedness, Environmental Health and Safety, and Hazardous Waste Management. As Risk Advisory and Insurance Services joined us during this reporting period, their chronicle of current events and activities will be included in next year’s annual report. The Director of Campus Public Safety also oversees Parking and Transportation Services, which manages all parking activities. The unit provides guidance and support to the community on logistical issues related to parking and transportation on the campus grounds. Due to their limited involvement in safety, this report will not include the Parking & Transportation Services department.

1.1 Administration Through sharing of resources, information, and expertise, the seven safety branches of Campus Public Safety, i.e., Security Services, Fire Prevention, Parking and Transportation Services, Emergency Management and Preparedness, Environmental Health and Safety, Hazardous Waste Management, and Risk Advisory and Insurance Services, collaborate to provide services to the McGill community. The organizational structure and current staffing levels are shown in Appendices 1a and 1b.

1.1.1 Mission Statement McGill University's Campus Public Safety Department works with the community to promote a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors through education, prevention, and response. The latest unit to merge with Campus Public Safety (Risk Advisory and Insurance Services) facilitates Campus Public Safety’s approach to provide a one-stop shop and emphasizes a shared mission, a commitment to respecting the needs and interests of the University community and to being diligent in the protection of both persons and property. This natural progression has led to the all-encompassing approach of offering an overarching service, from the analysis and prevention stage to the resolve stage. The safety culture embraces a healthy and safe environment achieved through everyone’s understanding of their related responsibilities and compliance with all regulatory requirements and University safety policies. As such, we encourage our partners in the community to assume their individual and collective responsibilities to make McGill University a place that is safe, and to provide an open environment that fosters learning and education.

2 COMPLIANCE FRAMEWORK

The regulatory framework for safety within which the University operates falls under three levels of jurisdiction and encompasses a wide variety of relevant laws and regulations. The principal legislative entities driving compliance management and the associated means of monitoring and judging compliance are summarized in Figure 1 on the next page.

This year, no new laws and regulations were added to the regulatory framework for safety within which the University operates, and the information is presented in Figure 1.

2.1 Safety Committee Management System As shown in Figure 2, there are a number of safety committees at McGill. This structure includes committees with representation from across the University, as well as committees within academic, administrative, and service units.

2.1.1 University Health and Safety Committee (UHSC) The University Health and Safety Committee is the umbrella safety committee, responsible for University-wide health and safety issues. The Associate Vice-Principal (Facilities Management & Ancillary Services) chairs the committee. The committee met three times in 2019-2020. This committee is comprised of members from employee groups and student unions and associations, balanced with a nearly equal number of management representatives. Topics addressed throughout the year included:  McGill University Policy Concerning Smoking (2017)  Cigarette smoke entering Tanna Hall and near the McLennan Library  Regulatory Agency Interventions  Guidelines for Accommodating Pregnant/Breastfeeding Students in Labs  Safety infrastructure in Labs  Incident Command System  McGill University Master Plan (2019)

2.1.2 University Laboratory Safety Committee (ULSC) The University Laboratory Safety Committee (ULSC) provides a forum where laboratory safety issues are addressed and where policies and protocols can be developed in a consistent and effective manner. The committee structure continued to work well; each faculty presented a

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 10 of 47 summary of their activities of the year and shared ideas for improving safety culture that are working well. The biosafety, laser safety, and radiation safety officers also presented their annual reports. The ULSC reports to the Office of the Vice-Principal, Research & Innovation. The Vice-Principal renewed the appointment of Professor Alvin Shrier as Chair. The committee met seven times in 2019-2020. Topics addressed throughout the year included:  Sustainable Labs Working Group  Final Approval of Lab Decommissioning Forms and Guidelines  Approved Biosafety Subcommittee’s SOPs for Biosafety Cabinets  EHS activity reports  New EHS Laser Safety Officer  Odours in Bellini from McIntyre Garage  Institutional License for Cannabis  Controlled Substances Inventory in myLab  PHAC certification of CL3 Facility  Emergency simulation in CL3 Facility  COVID-19 Research

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 11 of 47 2.1.3 Facilities Safety Committee (FSC) (Previously known as the University Safety Committee (USSC)) The Facilities Safety Committee provides a forum for facilities managers, supervisors, and employees to receive and review safety issues related to their specific operations and to develop safety policies and procedures. This Committee was originally set up to deal with Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) only, however it was expanded to include all facility managers in order to attain a consistent safety standard across all the University. As of January 2020, the Committee is chaired by Luc Roy, Director, Building Operations. Representatives are drawn from FMAS, Athletics, Residences, Macdonald Campus Farm, and the Gault Nature Reserve. In 2019-2020, the Committee met four times. Items discussed included:  Confined Space Entry  Lock-out Tag out Training  Ferrier Garage Post-Inspection Safety Issues  Electrical Safety Program Development and Training  Respiratory Fit Testing  Asbestos  Review of Committee

2.1.4 Faculty Safety Committees (FSC) Faculty Safety Committees exist in the four faculties with laboratory operations and provide oversight of the Departmental Safety Committees and representation to the ULSC. These committees report to their respective Faculty Deans on health and safety activities and the head of each committee acts as a faculty representative on the ULSC. The Chair of each committee is also automatically a member of the ULSC. All four faculties sent representatives to ULSC meetings and all of them, except Engineering, presented an activity report (a new ULSC representative from Engineering, selected in October, was prepared to present at a meeting in early 2020, but COVID-19 prevented the meeting from taking place). The Faculty Safety Committee Chairs are:  Science – Mr. Jean-Marc Gauthier  Medicine – Professor Dieter Reinhardt and Dr. Carmen Lampron  Agricultural and Environmental Sciences – Professor Petra Rohrbach  Engineering – Professor Milan Maric

2.1.5 Departmental Safety Committees (DSC) Departmental Safety Committees are required for all departments which have operating labs. Each committee is required to submit a report of their annual activities and priorities for the upcoming year. At the time of this report, 34 out of 36 committees have submitted activity reports. Reminders were sent to all Department Safety Committee Chairs and a second reminder was sent to the Faculty Safety Committees and their respective Deans. EHS compiled, reviewed, and summarized the reports for the University Laboratory Safety Committee to nominate the annual winner of the Departmental Safety Committee Productivity Award. The winner for 2019-2020 was the DSC from the Faculty of Dentistry chaired by Dr. Nathalie Morin.

(1) The unit rate represents a comparison rate for all colleges and universities in Quebec. (2) Represents the initial rate assessed by CNESST based on our past experience (for example, the 2020 McGill rate is based on our experience of the years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018). (3) If McGill’s experience of previous years changes, the CNESST will recalculate the University’s rate and this will be reflected by an increase or a decrease in the rate. (4) The premium used to be estimated at the beginning of each year. As of 2011, the CNESST has implemented a procedure for the payment of premiums requesting that it be paid weekly, based on wages paid, along with all others statutory governmental deduction remittance. The total premium for 2020 will be known in 2021. The premium is based on the University’s insurable salary (calculation is: insurable salary x McGill rate /100).

4 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY

4.1 Laboratory Inspection Program During the reference period, 130 laboratories were inspected (120 initial inspections and 10 follow-up inspections) with an overall score of 79%. The total number of inspections for this fiscal year was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation created a slowdown or a complete stop in the ability to conduct lab inspections on the field. Figure 5 shows the laboratory inspection scores since 2008-2009 as our initial starting point. The graph suggests that there has been little change in performance, however new requirements in the area of biosafety have been introduced steadily over the past few years so one could conclude that the community is keeping pace with the changes.

Each inspection cycle of the University takes about two years, thus in any given year, EHS inspects approximately two of the four faculties. For the year 2019-2020, those faculties were Engineering and Medicine, and later in 2020-2021, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and Science. Figure 6-a shows the inspection scores for their initial inspections.

Interpreting Laboratory Inspection Scores Laboratory inspection scores are computed as percentages using the formula: number of inspection items deemed as “PASS” divided by the number of applicable items times one hundred. The inspection checklist is based on key “auditable” items. The checklist is displayed as Appendix 3. Prior to each cycle, the list is reviewed for relevance, adherence to regulatory compliance, and relative risk (see fig 6-c). This year, we continue to inspect the sustainable practices in the labs. This section is not part of the overall inspection score but the results of the sustainability portion of the checklist will be used to nominate the sustainability award for labs. The laboratory inspection reports and scores are provided to the principal investigator (PI) along with an explanation of how the items were interpreted. If the PI receives less than a perfect score (100%), they are asked to respond to Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) within six weeks, explaining the corrective measures or action plan they will take. In addition, laboratories scoring less than 60% are subject to a follow-up inspection. Low response rates have been a chronic problem in recent years, so the new protocol calls for that reminder to be escalated to the Departmental Safety Committee as well as the Department Chair. Further, if a response is not received within the next four weeks, the reminders are escalated to the Faculty Safety Committee and the Dean. Laboratories with scores of 75% and greater are considered “certifiable” and therefore qualify for approval of internal permits, safety certifications, and signoffs for research grant applications. However, they are still required to respond to EHS to explain the corrective measures they will take. Laboratories who score below 60% are automatically added to the list of laboratories to undergo follow-up inspections.

4.2 EHS Service Calls

The EHS service calls data are shown in Figure 7. In 2019-2020, EHS reported 671 service calls, a marginal decrease compared to the past several years and explained by the COVID-19 restrictions that led to few or no staff and students on campus. This table is generally reflective of the calls for service that come through the EHS office either by telephone or by e-mail. The HEAT software used to input all the service calls is obsolescent. It was primarily designed for issuing call tickets and is not up to standard for generating reports and statistics on accidents and incidents. Potential new replacement systems are being studied and tested, and a decision for a new system is pending.

In accordance with legislation, Hazardous Waste Management (HWM) is mandated to collect, prepare, and ship hazardous waste for disposal in a safe, environmentally sound, and cost-effective manner. The department also provides services in the area of laboratory decommissioning, response to hazardous materials emergencies, and the collection of electronic waste (e-waste). Figure 8 shows the volumes for each of the categories of waste handled by HWM. Waste volumes fluctuate annually based on use by the McGill community.

While the numbers are consistent with those of previous years, there has been a decrease in the volume of old electronic equipment compared to the two previous years. The disposal of several large servers in Burnside during those years contributed in part to the difference. The application of McGill’s IT Asset Management Regulation also played a role in decreasing our volumes of E-waste collected, as more units are being reused internally. Other numbers are slightly lower than previous years, which can be explained by the decrease of activity due to COVID-19.

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 19 of 47 5 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT & PREPAREDNESS

5.1 University Emergency Notification System The goal of McGill’s emergency notification system (ENS) is to ensure that as many people as possible can receive urgent safety information during an emergency. Alerting tools include push notifications through the McGill App, SMS/text notification through Mir3, desktop pop-up messages through Alertus, Alnote email messages, the www.mcgill.ca website, and social media (McGill Twitter and Facebook). This year, the unit completed an ENS needs assessment to investigate long-term technological improvements, including the acquisition of a unified dashboard. Alternative methods of notification are also being explored due to the eventual phase out of the Mir3 SMS/text notification system. Next steps have slowed due to the COVID-19 situation which increasingly consumed unit resources starting in January 2020. Two bi-annual system tests were conducted in May 2019 and November 2019 to ensure system readiness.

5.2 Emergency Planning and Preparedness The Emergency Management and Preparedness (EMP) unit engages in ongoing emergency planning and preparedness activities. In addition to annual reviews of all major emergency response plans (i.e. Ammonia Leak Response Plans, Convocation Emergency Plan, Emergency Notification Protocol), a 5-year comprehensive review of the University Emergency Response Plan (UERP) was conducted in December 2019. Several areas of improvement were identified including expanding the current UERP Committee to an Emergency Management Program Committee with representation from key university functions beyond Facilities Management & Ancillary Services, as well as conducting an updated Hazard, Risk, and Vulnerability on which to base future emergency planning efforts. In January 2020, the unit, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and Student Housing and Hospitality Services, launched a pilot project to develop an emergency response plan template for faculties and administrative units. The goal of the project is to further enhance the overall preparedness and resiliency of the University. For the moment, this project has been put on hold due to the university-wide COVID-19 response.

6 FIRE PREVENTION

6.1 Fire Alarms The City of Montreal imposes an incremental fine structure for unfounded fire alarms that occur at each civic address. Fines range from $0 for a first alarm to $250 for the second, $750 for the third, and up to $2700 for the fourth and above. In order to reduce the number of unfounded fire alarms on campus and to defray the costs of those that continue to occur, the Fire Prevention Office imposes a penalty of $3000 per unfounded fire alarm. Improving signage would also have an impact on reducing fees, as having a single address for a variety of buildings requires firefighters to be escorted by patrollers to the appropriate location. Moreover, at the present moment, all invoices for unfounded alarms are sent to one address, which translates to higher charges. That is, billing for individual buildings by address would more precisely represent which buildings have received multiple fines. And providing SIM with a list of clearly identified buildings by address would permit firefighters to go directly to the building concerned, decreasing intervention reaction time. From May 1st, 2019 to April 30th, 2020, the Fire Prevention Office (FPO) received 80 notices for unfounded fire alarms from the City of Montreal, an increase of ten unfounded alarms compared to the previous operating year. The increase can be attributed to a concurrent increase in construction projects on campus, as well as to the age of systems and equipment, which is being addressed by a project involving changing equipment and fire alarm panels.

6.2 Reasons for Fire Alarms There was an increase of 13% in the number of alarms on campus compared to the reporting period 2018- 2019. Of note are the increases on Macdonald Campus and in Residences. For the former, a rise in construction activities there explain the increase in unfounded alarms. As for the latter, further analysis needs to be conducted.

A correction has been made to the yearly variance from 2018 to 2019.

While FS-002 requests peaked last year, following an upward trend, the number of FS-002 requests for equipment shutdowns in 2020 decreased sharply by 30%. A further review of Figure 12 reveals a 60% decline in the last quarter, coinciding with the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Otherwise, FS-002 requests per quarter seem to have stabilized for now around the 600 mark. The majority of FS-002 are construction-related, since Operations and Community FS-002 represent a very low percentage of the total.

6.3 Building Evacuation Exercises The Fire Prevention Office conducted fire drills in 136 out of 146 required buildings (not including four buildings that were empty during the drills period) for a success rate of 93% (see Summary). Of the ten remaining buildings, four were closed due to construction; and for the remaining six, fire alarms in these buildings in the months prior to the fire drills triggered an emergency evacuation that met the objectives of the exercise.

6.4 Fire Equipment Upgrades Program The alarm monitoring company notified the University that Telecoms Bell would be discontinuing supporting the analog lines which transmit fire alarms signals to the alarm monitoring central. The contract in place with TYCO, acting as both the alarm monitoring central and the company responsible for upgrading the alarm monitoring boxes, could not be renewed and a call for tender (CFT) was launched. Chubb Edwards was awarded the contract. The CFT for an alarm monitoring company was launched separately as part of the agreement reached with Chubb Edwards. As for the installation of intelligent fire alarm panels (ONYX), 20 buildings out of 145 have been upgraded so far. Plans are to upgrade the remaining buildings in the coming year. We have recently received all the quotes for these and will be sending them to Procurement for approval. The successful completion of this undertaking will depend on available funding and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 23 of 47 7 SECURITY SERVICES

7.1 Calls to the Security Operations Centre (Downtown & Macdonald Campus) Figure 13 summarizes the incident reports triggered by calls and alarms recorded by the Security Services Operations Centre (SOC) on the Downtown and Macdonald campuses from 2016 to 2020.

Downtown Campus The SOC downtown received, on average, 281 calls a week compared to 319 a week in 2019-2020, representing a decrease of 13.4% in the volume of reported incidents. The only areas that experienced an increase in the number of calls to the SOC were in Unsecured Areas (17%) and in “Miscellaneous” (17%). There was a drop in the number of reported criminal incidents from 243 last year to 196 this reporting year, a decrease of 19%, which was already being discerned prior to the closure of the University on March 13, 2020. There are no other notable trends to report for 2019-2020.

Macdonald Campus Overall weekly averages have persisted for each of the general categories. There was, however, a substantial decrease of 46% in “Unsecured Area” incidents as compared to last year, attributed to ongoing efforts in educating and promoting safety initiatives across various units. Although alarms have increased, the majority are mainly unfounded and due to maintenance upgrades of Security-Safety equipment. Notably, the resulting decrease occurred primarily in the following categories: “Emergency Calls” (12%), “Provide Assistance” (5%), and “Miscellaneous” (10%). With regards to the category “Miscellaneous,” municipal parking infractions account for almost 75% of all incidents in this category. Furthermore, within this category, Macdonald campus is seeing a significant increase in parking demands on campus, as well in the volume of traffic and the accompanying parking incidents requiring the assistance of our Security staff. This has resulted in the need for additional resources for traffic and safety control across campus.

7.2 Reported Criminal Incidents (Downtown & Macdonald Campus) A detailed breakdown of crime-related incidents for this and the previous three years is shown in Figure 14 on the following page. It is noteworthy to mention that there are no national standards governing the reporting and classification of crime statistics for Canadian post-secondary institutions, therefore, these statistics are compiled by Security Services.

Downtown Campus This year there were 196 reported criminal incidents, a decrease of 16% overall on the downtown campus compared to the previous reporting period of 2018-2019. Thefts under $5000 made up 60% of calls (represents 124 calls) to the Security Operations Centre (SOC). Threats or Harassments made up 9%, Mischief - Damage to Property 7%, Break & Enter 7%, Disorderly Conduct (Indecent Exposure) 7%, and when taken together with Theft under $5000, represent 90% of all reported criminal incidents on campus. This year, we experienced 14 Break & Enters, compared to 2 last year. Of those Break and Enters, 36% took place in the loges at Molson Stadium, while the remaining occurred at other, various locations (there was no particular pattern and problematic areas). There was also an increase of 36% in Disorderly Conduct (Indecent Exposure). Most of these incidents took place in a men’s washroom in McConnell building basement. To address this increase, extra patrols were added, and operations management performed interventions to mitigate. A card reader was installed to regulate access and no incidents were subsequently reported. Last year, we reported that Harassment or Threats were up compared to the previous reporting period of 2017-2018. This year, Harassments or Threats were down by 30%. We can also report this year that thefts were down by 55% at Residence Carrefour (cafeterias), and down by 15% at the McLennan, Redpath, Gelber and Music libraries. The building most affected by criminal incidents was the McGill Sports Complex (including Molson Stadium) with 21% of all incidents occurring at this location. All of the incidents at the Sports Complex involved theft, the majority of which occurred in the men’s locker room. At Molson Stadium, there were five Break & Enters, one Indecent Exposure, and one Mischief (Damage to Property). The next area most affected by criminal incidents was campus grounds with 10% of all reported incidents, almost 50% involving theft. In terms of what was stolen on our campus, 27% of incidents involved the theft of cash and 26% the theft of laptops. Bicycles made up 9%, electronic devices or accessories made up 7%, and cellphones made up 5% of all items stolen. Combined (cash, laptops, bicycles, electronic devices or accessories and cellphones), these comprised 74% of targeted items. Apart from these categories, no other particular trends stood out.

Macdonald Campus Of note, “MAC and JAC” statistics have been omitted, as McGill no longer provides security services for John Abbott College. There was a slight increase, 12%, in criminal incidents reported to Security from the previous reporting period at Macdonald campus. Most notably, there was a 50% decrease in incidents of “Breaking and Entering” arising from proactive deterrence and an increase in security presence/visibility in strategic locations. Overall, in the category of “Thefts under $5000”, Security Services has been able to maintain ongoing initiatives to ensure that thefts have changed minimally from the previous year. Similarly, through effective interventions and patrol.

7.3 Benchmarking Criminal Incidents The Criminal Incidents Index (CII) measures the number of criminal incidents on both McGill campuses per 1,000 students over a specified fiscal year, compared to eight other Canadian universities whose student populations exceed 20,000, and for which criminal incidents data are available. Campus Public Safety relies on its own resources to collect this data given that there is no national body that publishes such statistics. Universities publish their own statistics with considerable delay and, as a result, the CII cites statistics for the previous fiscal year, 2018-2019. As a result of this delay, the statistics for McGill University are for the fiscal year 2018-2019 and thus do not match the current year statistics presented elsewhere in this report. Note that these statistics are calculated based on individual interpretation of annual reports published online by the various listed universities. The definition of criminal incidents and how statistics are categorized across each university may vary.

8.2 2019-2020 Highlights

Campus Public Safety

8.2.1 Security Services For the 2019-2020 fiscal year, Security Services undertook several projects, planned and reactionary (as a result of COVID-19). The plan to roll out a round witness system (Traktik) at Macdonald Campus was completed. Members of the Downtown campus team collaborated with security staff at Macdonald Campus to assist in getting it up and running, as well as training staff on its usage. The unit went out to tender for DT radios and a change of providers was made, which reduced our overall costs annually by nearly 50%. Similarly, defibrillators in our patrol vehicles were also replaced by a newer, more modern model that proved to be less costly. Security personnel on both campuses received specialized training in naloxone administration to counter fentanyl overdoses, as well as training on “Sexual harassment and disclosure.” With this training, our agents are better equipped to deal with various situations that might occur on campus. With the new contract in place with GardaWorld and a collaborative effort between the agency and McGill Security Services, staffing issues are being resolved, with a significant improvement in the SOC. Many improvements were accomplished in the documents and procedures for the training and evaluation of security agents: 1. Competency Framework and Standards of Professional Behaviour: These were introduced in order to create a benchmark on which our agents can be assessed and evaluated and set out a range of standards to which all agents should adhere. The Competency Framework will also act as a measure of progression throughout an agent’s time with McGill and as a reference point throughout agent evaluations. 2. Patroller Evaluation Process: This process has been overhauled so that it works alongside the Competency Framework, meaning that the evaluation process now provides a clear sense of what is to be expected of our patrollers throughout their developmental process. The new forms also allow us to record whether our patrollers are meeting or exceeding these expectations. 3. Patroller Training: The patroller training documentation was updated and amended, although the delivery of the training has largely remained unchanged. A more in-depth training module surrounding report writing and note-taking has been introduced to improve the standard of both these areas and this is now being rolled out to all new patrollers and existing patrollers/ controllers/supervisors. 4. New Incident Reports: All forms used regularly by or Patrollers have been refreshed/updated. This was done to improve data capturing and to bring uniformity across our report catalogue. This was done in conjunction with other campus public safety departments, including Fire Prevention and Risk Advisory and Insurance Services. 5. Status Code System: This system has now officially replaced the old ‘10’ code systems (ex.10-4) that had been in use. It was introduced to assure clarity on the airwaves, ensuring that even agents unfamiliar with the campus can easily follow what is happening over the radio. It will also become a valuable tool when the new IMS system is introduced, once the ‘status’ of each agent on the field will become more prevalent to the Controllers in terms of dispatching them to Incidents. 6. Basic Training: Our training program for Basic Agents was also overhauled and updated to include additional trainings and with many portions having been moved from paper to digital presentations. As a result of COVID-19, several projects that were urgently required were also completed. On top of the additional agents to manage over the last several months, we created, and provided training to many of the contract security agents, allowing them to act as sanitary agents where needed, and to the SHHS staff, allowing them to later provide assistance in the function of Safety Ambassadors, all this in cooperation with EHS. We were also mandated to create access/regress plans for all used spaces on the Downtown Campus in line with government and environmental health and safety coronavirus guidelines. Security Services continued to work on a number of projects where the Physical Security Systems unit took the lead. The unit prepared to go to tender for a Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System (formerly called IMS – Incident Management System). Implementation of this system will begin in 2021. 2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 30 of 47

Additionally, we continued our efforts with the classroom locking project by preparing tender documents and updating hardware standards. This project ensures individuals can safely lock themselves inside classrooms in the event of an active threat while still allowing for free egress. Installation of new classroom locking hardware has begun at both campuses as part of construction projects, as a result of updated hardware standards Other accomplishments include the reduction of blank access cards in circulation by 15%, updating analog cameras under Security Services purview, and transitioning the Macdonald campus to the Downtown campus help desk ticketing system to ensure consistent policies and procedures for both campuses. In an effort to curb theft in the Social Humanities Library, we began a targeted program of prevention beginning in the Fall. The program involves handing out specially created Post-It booklets where laptops have been left unattended, as a reminder to new and returning students that theft is an issue in these areas. The booklets have a custom message “never leave valuables unattended” and are handed out at the beginning of the school year and at peak times throughout the year by members of Security Services. During the Fall, Phase 1 of a bait locker program was launched to address the problem of thefts at the McGill Sports Complex. The bait locker program works by arming certain lockers to sound off if the lockers are pried open. Phase 1 involved identifying our top problem areas and the creation of a poster. The posters are critical to the program since they alert potential thieves (as well as users of the gym) to the bait locker program which aims to deter theft. This year also saw the completion of a project initiated by the Investigations & Community Relations unit to create a detailed theft database covering a five-year period. The purpose of the database is to capture theft details not easily obtained in the HEAT logging system, upon which we have relied to retrieve statistics. The detailed theft database allows the Investigations and Community Relations unit to identify trends. The database also aids investigations to more quickly generate requests for reports by senior management. During the Fall, the Investigations and Community Relations unit was tasked with creating the branding effort involved with the integration of three existing units (Environmental Health and Safety, Hazardous Waste Management, and Risk Advisory and Insurance Services) to the Campus Public Safety family. Along with collaborating with Design Services, the unit coordinated the production of new icons for each of the three units. The rebranding effort additionally involved the coordination of a thorough audit of all the websites under CPS to provide recommendations on a new unified website for CPS. The latter effort also entailed producing guidance and recommendations to the department regarding new government regulations on accessibility, web design, and content. Two CPS staff members received AVADE basic self-defense certification for men and women, which now allows them to offer this training to all McGill community members.

8.2.2 Fire Prevention The Fire Prevention Office was effective in conducting fire drills in most of its 146 required buildings on campus, excluding those that were unoccupied during the drill period. Four of the remaining buildings were closed as a result of ongoing construction projects. The six remaining buildings had experienced actual fire alarms in the months preceding the exercise, meeting the required objectives.

8.2.3 Emergency Management & Preparedness (EMP) In November 2019, the unit conducted a function drill of emergency response procedures at the Containment Level 3 Lab. Participants included Comparative Medicine and Animal Resources Centre (CMARC), Hazardous Waste Management, Environmental Health and Safety, Fire Prevention Office, and Security Services. For training exercises this year, EMP also conducted a tabletop exercise with the Emergency Operations Centre and Emergency Communication Group, and an emergency response drill to test deployment of water barriers for flood response. In conjunction with Security Services, the unit also provided training to the Athletics Summer Sports Camp on active shooter response and confinement procedures. On the advice of the EMP unit, the Emergency Operations Centre activated on January 24th 2020 to monitor a novel coronavirus spreading in China, as well as to provide support for McGill students and staff travelling in the affected region, and initiate advanced planning to ensure university preparedness in the event of a pandemic. The virus, which came to be known as COVID-19, quickly spread across borders and on March 13, 2020, resulted in a widespread lockdown in the Province of Quebec, including ramping down most in- person activities at the university. The EOC has been central to the University’s response to this 2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 31 of 47 unprecedented event, including providing strategic direction through the interpretation of government and public health directives and translating these into action plans for University operations, as well as directing internal and external communications and balancing business continuity considerations. To adhere to public health directives to reduce in-person interactions, on March 22, 2020, the EOC fully moved to virtual operations – this is a first for emergency response at McGill. As of April 30, 2020, the EOC has met 47 times and continues to meet on a daily basis. This has been the longest activation for the University’s emergency response system to date.

8.2.4 Environmental Health and Safety

Environmental Health & Safety This year marked major changes in the delivery of EHS safety courses. A new software was selected to manage safety courses. The myLab platform will be used to replace the HR registration system. The training module will oversee course registration, course materials, exams, and recordkeeping. The goal for 2020 is also to provide more safety courses online. Efforts are being made to put some courses, such as WHMIS, Biosafety and Laser Safety, online. The controlled substances inventory tracking tool was completed and introduced in myLab. Now the initiative is to use the same platform to track cannabis use on campus, needed as soon as McGill acquires an institutional license for Cannabis from Health Canada projected for the end of 2020. In January 2020, two new staff members were hired, a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) and an Occupational Hygiene Officer (OHO). The LSO will be responsible for overseeing the growing laser safety program on campus, while the OHO will administer the asbestos management program and other occupational hygiene projects. Emergency simulation of the CL3 Facility was conducted on November 1st, 2020, as required by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). This exercise enabled us to identify issues that needed to be addressed prior to the start of operations at the facility.

Hazardous Waste Management The Hazardous Waste Management unit finalized and published a call for tenders (CFT) for the acquisition of a biomedical waste sterilizer system, which will enable us to treat our non-anatomical waste onsite instead of outsourcing it to the U.S. The cost of acquisition was deemed too high, so a second CFT will be published in July with revamped budget and criteria. The unit successfully collected and packed all long-lived radioactive wastes accumulated over the last six years, including sealed sources, waste from the MUHC Glen site, and the MNI cyclotron. Shipment was scheduled for April 2020, but University-wide response to COVID-19 pushed the shipment date to later during the year.

9 THE YEAR MOVING FORWARD

Campus Public Safety An extension of last year’s analysis of the organizational structure of Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) took place and a subsequent announcement was made late in 2019, informing the community that Risk Advisory and Insurance Services was becoming a member of the CPS family. This exciting collaboration between Security Services, Fire Prevention, Parking & Transportation Services, Emergency Management & Preparedness, Environmental Health & Safety, Hazardous Waste Management, and Risk Advisory and Insurance Services will promote an even stronger and more efficient campus response. This is a judicious move aimed at providing better services to the McGill community.

9.1 Security Services Going forward, Security Services team members are expected to remain heavily involved in the full-time deployment of the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) and Incident Command (IC), in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and are also active members of several related committees.

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 32 of 47

The selection of the supplier and the start of the implementation of the CAD/RMS system will translate into a large project for Security Services, and we look forward to the challenges it will bring. Some additional objectives include upgrading the LENEL software, upgrading intrusion panels at both campuses, and implementing remote locking/unlocking of buildings at Macdonald campus. In the coming year, Security Services at Macdonald campus will be focusing on a new parking management software, aligning with Parking Services downtown. This will allow for the online selling of parking permits, which will facilitate transactions for clients as well as Security Services. In addition to this new system, many changes will be made to the Macdonald campus parking website, including an interactive map to indicate parking areas on campus, to reflect these modifications and many more which, again, will align with the downtown parking website. We have also recently hired a new dedicated Campus Manager for Macdonald campus Security Services, following the retirement of the previous manager last year. We will be continuing to improve upon our training program for agents and also continue to work with Security Services at Macdonald campus in an effort to deliver a more consistent service regardless of which campus the services are provided by, including training, response, standardizing forms, and continuing to revise and update procedures etc. The phase 2 Bait locker program is currently on hold due to the pandemic. Training courses are also on hold due to the safety concerns associated with having community members in close proximity during the pandemic (AVADE basic self-defense for men and women, DPVS de- escalating potentially violent situations and Active Shooter training sessions). Our unit will participate in any virtual online orientation initiatives in case on campus events are cancelled. As a final point, we will continue to work with Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) on a renovation plan & budget for the Security and Parking offices. These renovations are needed to improve operations as a whole in the department, but more precisely, at the Security Operations Centre, to delimit the services between Parking and Security and to ensure that confidentiality is respected.

9.2 Fire Prevention Fire Prevention’s goals for the coming year depend largely on COVID-19 developments as well as staffing levels. The department’s focus will be to have all alarm monitoring boxes installed and connected to the alarm monitoring central by December 2020.

9.3 Emergency Management & Preparedness Unit resources are fully focused on supporting the COVID-19 response at the Emergency Operations Centre and Incident Command levels. EMP is focused on ensuring effective EOC and IC functioning, including promoting ongoing learning and continuous improvement. The length and breadth of this response also provides an opportunity to build stronger working relationships with areas and units across the University and to foster a shared understanding and approach to emergency management at McGill. One of the key deliverables from this event will be the development of a comprehensive pandemic response plan for McGill.

9.4 Environmental Health and Safety

Environmental Health & Safety Here are the objectives for 2020-2021 for the EHS unit:  Move in person EHS safety courses and exams to online platforms  Implement a new training registration module to manage the delivery of EHS safety courses  Retool the EHS website to rebrand according to CPS

Hazardous Waste Management Following the results of the second CFT for the procurement of a biomedical waste sterilization system, we will implement new procedures and guidelines for biomedical waste disposal, starting with a pilot project in the Life Science Complex, our largest waste generator. Internal Standard Operating Procedures will be implemented for HWM staff to operate the equipment safely and efficiently. We also need to transport the long-lived radioactive waste to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Chalk river, Ontario. Finally, we will

2019-2020 McGill University Annual Safety Report Page 33 of 47 complete our information campaign on Controlled Substances (i.e. drugs) for the research staff. This will ensure compliance with Health Canada as well as a better oversight for HWM and EHS.

9.5 Risk Advisory and Insurance Services By joining the CPS family, Risk Advisory and Insurance Services will help to support McGill’s efforts concerning risk identification and risk treatment as we further mitigation efforts as a cohesive team. The University’s property insurers began on-site inspections in 2019 and are continuing to do so as we work together with them to attain our goals.
