Safety & Security in Shared Space

Ensuring staff feel safe and secure when working onsite in shared spaces is a priority.


All UBC employees are required to meet WorkSafeBC and UBC requirements, including mandatory health and safety training. As each of our sites is unique, staff using shared spaces are strongly encouragedto familiarize themselves with the posted information about emergency procedures and contact details at the location they have chosen to work.

Voice Extension Mobility & 9-1-1 Waivers

Voice Extension Mobility allows users to access their phone and settings, such as line appearances, services, and speed dials from any shared workspace. It’s important to note that there are some nuances with the Voice Extension Mobility Service for reaching 9-1-1 . In an emergency, users should use a cellphone versus a desk phone to call 9-1-1. Please read the Voice Extension Mobility 911 Terms of Service agreement and complete the waiver.
