Information for all Project Managers, Contract Authorities, Contractors and Service Providers.
Effective Jan. 4, 2022, anyone accessing USask campuses and workplaces will need to be fully vaccinated according to the university’s standards.
Obtaining rapid test results (or any other COVID test result) will no longer be an option for campus access as of Jan. 4, 2022, unless an accommodation has been granted (by the worker’s employer) to individuals who are unable to be vaccinated for reasons related to grounds that are protected under The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code, 2018.
This requirement extends to all vendors and subcontractors.
Individuals who are unable to be vaccinated for reasons related to grounds that are protected under The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code, 2018 may be able to receive an accommodation to work on campus.
Accommodations will not be granted by the University of Saskatchewan but must be administered through the worker’s employer. Accommodated workers must carry proof of accommodation and proof of negative COVID-19 rapid test (including picture of negative test result cassette with date written on it or other certified test result) from within the previous 48 hours.

USask has an Asbestos Management Program that communicates asbestos information to campus occupants and those who are hired to work near or with asbestos containing materials.
If you are conducting any work that may disturb areas with potential asbestos containing material, an assessment to identify asbestos containing materials is required by trained and qualified personnel prior to completing the work. In addition, if any asbestos containing material is observed to be damaged, please report the location to Asbestos Management Program.
For any questions or concerns regarding asbestos, please contact the Asbestos Management Program.
