Laboratory Instructor Responsibilities:

Preparation & In-Class

1. Check with HSSC technicians regarding the availability of simulators, posters, models etc.
2. Complete equipment requisition in a detailed manner.
3. Submit completed requisition to HSSC technician either on-line or in person, two working days in advance of class. Requisitions not handed in within specified time frame will NOT be filled.
4. Requisitions can be completed and submitted online, but two working days are required to process them.
5. Meet with HSSC technician to review requisition, as required.
6. Book and bring to class related audio visual resources (videos, DVDs etc) and return them to the appropriate area after use.
7. Ensure students are aware of HSSC policies. Please monitor and enforce compliance.

Hours of Instruction

Classes booked for two or four hour blocks, must be finished twenty minutes prior to the end of class. For example, a laboratory class from 0800 -1000 hours needs to be finished at 0940 hours. This allows HSSC technicians time to dismantle and set-up equipment for the next class. If faculty teach through without a break, students will receive 100 minutes of instruction. Please do not forget, HSSC technicians have four laboratories to dismantle and set-up in twenty minutes, therefore finishing class on time is essential.

Basic Care

Students are required to bring to class from home, personal care items (towels, face cloth, tooth brush, and tooth paste) to practice bed bath. If students forget to bring items, equipment will not be supplied. HSSC does not have the personnel and laundry facilities to do laundry. Faculty, please remind students to bring supplies from home.

Accident and Injury

If a student is injured at the College, he/she is not covered by WorkSafeBC. For all student and faculty injuries incurred at the College, please complete ¿Employee/Student Accident/Injury/Incident/Investigation Report" and forward the completed form to "Employee Relations" within twenty-four hours of the event. This form can be found in the Faculty of Health Sciences field base office and online- Douglas College Homepage-Services-Facilities Services-Health and Safety-Forms.

HSSC Evaluation

Instructors are requested at the end of every semester to evaluate resources used in HSSC, for currency and amount for instruction and practice. The evaluation form will be sent to faculty.
