KPU’s COVID-19 safety plans use an appropriate mix of the four recommended levels of protection: elimination, engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Examples within the four levels of protection include:
- Elimination – Using physical distancing and reducing prolonged close contact
- Engineering controls – Using physical barriers like plexiglass
- Administrative controls – Cleaning protocols, hand sanitizer stations and one-way corridors
- PPE – gloves and non-medical masks
Safety plans at KPU align with the COVID-19 Go-Forward Guidelines for B.C.’s Post-Secondary Sector. As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves so does our understanding of the virus and how best to mitigate its spread. As a result, KPU will continuously update documentation and safety plans as new information comes to light and new guidelines are received and implemented.
