LET’S ALL STAY SAFE!

Staying safe and healthy during this COVID-19 pandemic requires the co-operation of everyone. As we
welcome some students back to campus in a limited capacity, it is imperative that each of us contributes to
the success of the relaunch by adhering to the rules and guidelines identified in this presentation.

Staying safe and healthy is a shared responsibility among all members of the NAIT community.

The rules and guidelines were developed by NAIT’s Relaunch Coordination Team (RCT)
in accordance with the mandated Alberta COVID-19 requirements.
Additional information from reliable and valid government and public health institutions
is included to assist you in learning how to be safe.

NAIT’S RESPONSE TO COVID-19 MICROSITE

NAIT has developed a COVID-19 microsite (https://www.nait.ca/relaunch) that provides information regarding
NAIT’s response. Click the “Information for Students” tab on the site to stay informed of updates and changes.
The microsite provides access to the videos and resources used in this presentation. For example, if you need a
reminder about how to put on or take off a mask safely, the microsite has that information.

WHAT IS COVID-19?

Definition
COVID-19 is the official name for the disease causing the
novel coronavirus outbreak which has spread around the
world. The name stands for Corona-Virus Disease 2019.

How is COVID-19 Spread?

COVID-19 is spread by people who have the virus. It is
transmitted from person to person through droplets from the
nose or mouth which are spread when a person with the virus
coughs or exhales. People then catch COVID-19 when they
breathe in these droplets.
These droplets can also contaminate objects or surfaces.
People can catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or
surfaces and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth.
Studies suggest that the virus lasts only a few hours on
a surface though it may last several days under ideal
conditions.

Can COVID-19 be spread through the air?

Current studies indicate COVID-19 is transmitted
through respiratory droplets when an individual
coughs or exhales.
Graphic illustration of COVID-19 in proximity to a face.
Copyright-free from www.pikist.com Can COVID-19 be spread by a person who
has no symptoms?
While the risk may be low, it is possible to
become infected by someone who shows no
symptoms (asymptomatic). Transmission is
possible even if the person is feeling well and
experiencing, for example, only a mild cough.

HYGIENE PRACTICES
Hand washing and sanitizing, proper coughing and sneezing etiquette, and avoiding touching your face are keys
to preventing the spread of COVID-19 and minimizing the likelihood of infection.

Hand Washing
Proper hand washing helps prevent the transfer of infectious material from
the hands to other parts of the body—particularly the eyes, nose, and
mouth—or to other surfaces that are touched.

• Wash your hands often and well with soap and warm water for at
least 20 seconds.
• Wash your hands when you come to campus and before you leave.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Use eating utensils (spoons, forks) rather than fingers to put food in
your mouth.

NAVIGATING THE CAMPUS AND COMMON SPACES

The following information is general for the NAIT campuses. Specific practices for medical, industrial, and
automotive labs will be provided by departments and programs.

1. Use the automatic door buttons if available to open doors to NAIT buildings. Use an object to press/
push the door button where possible.
2. Follow “in” and “out” signs posted on building doors.
3. Wash or sanitize your hands after touching door handles into buildings or rooms.
4. Follow floor markings that indicate direction flow, and remember to maintain a 2-metre physical
distance from others.

Follow “Traffic Flow Signage” NAIT video screenshots showing one-way signage and people walking in
one direction.

5. Maintain one-way flow where indicated. Walk on the right-hand side of the street/hallway wherever
possible, creating one-way pedestrian traffic and minimizing contact with passersby.

How could these students have behaved in safer ways?

☑ Should have been practicing physical distancing at the table.

☑ Should not have put their masks on the table while they were eating or wear them on
their chins.

☑ Should not have shared food.

☑ Should not have blown party toy.

• Students should maintain physical distancing, especially when eating (no masks).
• Masks should be discarded in lined receptacles or stored in a sealed container when they are re-
moved.
• While celebrating special events is great, shared food items should be individually packaged and
unopened.
• Exhaled breaths may contain the virus. Blowing the party toy spreads the exhaled virus even further.

CLOTH AND NON-MEDICAL MASKS

NAIT’s expectation is that everyone wears a face covering in all indoor, publicly accessible spaces.

Cloth Face Covers

You are expected to wear face covers in publicly accessible
spaces such as atriums, hallways, elevators, and washrooms.
Cloth face covers can be made at home.
This type of face mask should not be worn by:

• Children under 2 years of age.

• Anyone who has trouble breathing.
• Anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated, or unable
to remove it without assistance.

Personal Etiquette
Going to school at NAIT now will differ from the
way it was before COVID-19. However, the NAIT
values that guide our work remain the same;
we must conduct ourselves in ways that reflect
those values:

• We need to respect others.

• We need to collaborate with and support
others to ensure the health and safety
practices are being followed.
• We need to be accountable for our
actions and conduct.

If we can do those things, then we can celebrate

a safer school environment.

If you are on campus and someone is not abiding by the

expectations in this training, you have a few options. If you
are comfortable, you can speak to the person yourself; often
a friendly “Hey, did you know masks are required on campus?”
is all it takes. If this doesn’t feel like a safe option for you,
or if you feel that the behaviour of another member of
our community has caused you harm, please contact the
Student Resolution Office at [email protected].

Remember, as a NAIT student you are expected to abide

by the expectations communicated to you in this training.
These expectations are being set for the health and
safety of everyone. Failure to follow these expectations
puts your friends, instructors, and other members of
the NAIT community at risk of serious harm, and will
result in a complaint under NAIT’s Student Rights and

“ABTraceTogether is a mobile contact tracing app that helps to

let you know if you’ve been exposed to COVID-19 – or if you’ve
exposed others – while protecting your privacy.
Quickly identifying and isolating positive cases is an important
part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and will help

to honour our responsibility to take care of our own

those resources are provided, we have not changed in
our commitment to helping you be well.
