Introduction to Your Operation 1. Scope and Rationale for Opening
At UBC, there are approx. 340 General Teaching Space (GTS) classrooms that are scheduled and shared across all Faculties. These General Teaching Spaces (GTS) classrooms are spread across 43 buildings and managed centrally by the Learning Spaces Team from Infrastructure Development. This inventory is separate from departmentally scheduled classrooms that are managed by academic departments.
This plan outlines the COVID-19 safety plan for all GTS rooms to support in-person academic teaching, as well as ad hoc bookings (e.g. trainings, meetings) that are approved [January 14, 2021]. With UBC primarily offering online courses, many instructors are also interested in using existing classrooms with recording capabilities to pre-record content for their classes. Stage 1 of the Safety Plan has a very small percentage of classroom use for face-to-face classes with most classrooms only being scheduled for one class (or student cohort) per day – no back-to-back classes scheduled. Additional classrooms will be used for other purposes, such as recording/livestreaming of classes, designated study spaces, and some University Administrative functions. In total, approx. 20% of the classroom inventory can be in use during Stage 1. [August 20, 2020]. We expect that classroom activities could scale up to 50% under this plan and still fall under Stage 1. [December 1, 2020]. Stage 2 of this plan will be implemented when classrooms are scheduled back-to-back. Stage 2 will necessitate traffic and corridor management, additional signage and communication, and other considerations to be determined.
By reviewing the square footage and furniture layout of each classroom and marking 2 metre spacing between seats to determine recommended occupancy, the Learning Space team has revised the allowable occupancy of all General Teaching Space at UBC Point Grey Campus. This methodology was reviewed by UBC Safety & Risk Services and Vancouver Coastal Health. Revised occupancy for GTS is attached in Appendix A.
For in-person educational activities located on the UBC Vancouver (Point Grey) Campus, intermediate safety plans that include traffic flows, building entry and exits, elevators and staircase usage, and specific building keyplans have been submitted, reviewed and approved by the

respective Dean. [August 20, 2020]
This General Teaching Space safety plan is a child plan that has been produced with input from the Learning Space Advisory Committee and the Facilities JOHSC and will be referenced as part of intermediate level Faculty safety plans that have in-person teaching in GTS. Many of the worker and communication parts of the safety plan will be embedded in the Faculty intermediate plans and appear as “not applicable” in this plan.
The Learning Space team has received a package with supplies to carry out physical distancing protocols. This includes floor decals and coloured marking tape selected by Building Operations to prevent the damaging of surfaces and floors. The products in the package will be used to implement plans for circulation, direction, queuing, and layout within the classrooms. Signage resources are available on the SRS website or have been customized for GTS classrooms. In Stage 2, the Learning Space team will work with the building administrators to designate space for waiting outside classrooms. [August 20, 2020]
This plan does not cover Restricted classrooms, defined as classrooms that are scheduled and managed at the department level. Those rooms, as well as teaching laboratories, will be covered by departmental plans but should be aligned with the GTS safety plan.
Effective September 16, 2020 UBC implemented a policy whereby students, faculty, staff and visitors are required to wear non-medical masks in common indoor spaces on campus. [September 17, 2020]
A new (May 2, 2021) Provincial Health Order is in place which mandates that students must wear a non-medical mask at all times within classrooms. The mask requirement for students is in addition to the physical distancing already in place in classrooms.
Instructors may remove their mask if they are able to maintain a 2 metre distance from others in the room. Instructors must wear a mask when receiving in-person support from AV support staff and when travelling through building common areas, while entering and exiting the classroom, and at any other time a 2m distance cannot be maintained.

Section #2 - Risk Assessment As an employer, UBC has been working diligently to follow the guidance of federal and provincial
authorities in implementing risk mitigation measures to keep the risk of exposure as low as reasonably
achievable. This is most evident in the essential service areas that have remained open on campus to
support the institution through these unprecedented times. These areas have been very active with
respect to identifying and mitigating risks, and further re-evaluating the controls in place using the
following risk assessment process.
Prior to opening or increasing staff levels:
COVID-19 Safety Plan – General Teaching Spaces
UBC COVID19 Safety Plan – General Teaching Spaces May 11, 2021
Page 4
Where your organization belongs to a sector that is permitted to open, but specific guidance as to
activities under that sector are lacking, you can use the following risk assessment approach to determine
activity level risk by identifying both your organization’s or activity’s contact intensity and contact
number, as defined below:
1. What is the contact intensity in your setting pre-mitigation – the type of contact (close/distant)
and duration of contact (brief/prolonged)?
2. What is the number of contacts in your setting – the number of people present in the setting at
the same time? As a result of the mass gatherings order, over 50 will fall into the high risk.
One or more steps under the following controls can be taken to further reduce the risk, including:
• Physical distancing measures – measures to reduce the density of people
• Engineering controls – physical barriers (like Plexiglas or stanchions to delineate space) or
increased ventilation
• Administrative controls – clear rules and guidelines
• Personal protective equipment – like the use of respiratory protection
7. Contact Density (proposed COVID-19 Operations)
Describe the type of contact (close/distant) and duration of the contact (brief/prolonged) under COVID operations - where do people congregate; what job tasks require close proximity; what surfaces are touched often; what tools, machinery, and equipment do people come into contact with during work
• In person teaching in larger classrooms with an instructor and a small group of students. The students will be physically distanced and discouraged from moving about the classrooms and using equipment or boards.
• Stage 1: with lower usage, each classroom will be used by a single section or cohort to minimize contact with other students.
COVID-19 Safety Plan – General Teaching Spaces
UBC COVID19 Safety Plan – General Teaching Spaces May 11, 2021
Page 10
• Stage 2: As the number of in-person sections increases, there will be multiple sections sharing
one room. Efforts will be made to avoid back to back scheduling to avoid student crowding in corridors. If this cannot be avoided, the class will empty first while students wait outside in designated line-up area [August 20, 2020]
• Access to classrooms after 5pm will be limited to allow for cleaning.
• High contact areas are student tables and chairs. For the instructor, AV equipment will be a high touch area.
8. Contact Number (proposed COVID-19 Operations) Describe the number of contacts in your proposed COVID-19 operational setting (# of people present in setting at same time)
• The number will depend on the approved course sections that will take place in-person on campus.
• There will be up to 25 rooms designated for instructors to record on-line content. This will have a maximum of 3 people per session.
• For 2020W Term 1 and 2, approx. 10% of the classroom inventory will be used for face-to-face academic sections. An additional 10% of classrooms will be used for functions such as course recording, study spaces, and other functions. [August 20, 2020].
• Typically classroom density is between 1-2sq metres per student. For COVID-19 operations, the space is approx. 8 sq metres per student based on the ability to maintain physical distancing. 9. Employee Input/Involvement
Detail how you have met the MANDATORY requirement to involve frontline workers, Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees, and Supervisors in identifying risks and protocols as part of this plan
This plan was at the Learning Space Advisory Committee on June 17th and feedback was incorporated. This committee has representatives from all Faculties and Senior Administrative staff. On June 18, the plan was also presented and reviewed at the Facilities JOHSC, which is the designated JOHSC for classrooms. Cleaning protocols were developed in consultation with Building Operations, Safety and Risk Services Infection Control staff, and the support team from UBC IT Audio Visual. The plan is continually reviewed and updated as needed. Changes are noted with dates. [August 20, 2020] 10. Risk Level Determination (H/M/L) Identify the COVID-19 risk category (High / Medium / Low) pre-mitigations for your operation using the BC COVID-19 Go Forward Management Strategy Risk Matrix
• Risk Level Determination Pre-COVID is moderate to high pre-mitigation. Mitigation procedures have centered around reducing contacts and lowering intensity, although the period of time is still relatively prolonged. [August 20, 2020]
• Considered to be low risk post mitigation, with respect to the current state of BC.

Section #3 – Hazard Elimination or Physical Distancing Coronavirus is transmitted through contaminated droplets that are spread by coughing or sneezing, or by
contact with contaminated hands, surfaces or objects. UBC’s goal is to minimize COVID-19 transmission
by following the safety hierarchy of controls in eliminating this risk, as below.
The following general practices shall be applied for all UBC buildings and workspaces:
• Where possible, workers are instructed to work from home.
• Anybody who has travelled internationally, been in contact with a clinically confirmed case of
COVID-19 or is experiencing “flu like” symptoms must stay at home.
• All staff are aware that they must maintain a physical distance of at least 2 meters from each
other at all times
• Do not touch your eyes/nose/mouth with unwashed hands
• When you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth and nose with a disposable tissue or the crease of

your elbow, and then wash your hands
• All staff are aware of proper handwashing and sanitizing procedures for their workspace
• Supervisors and managers must ensure large events/gatherings (> 50 people in a single space)
are avoided
• Management must ensure that all workers have access to dedicated onsite supervision at all
times.
• All staff wearing non-medical masks are aware of the risks and limitations of the face covering
they have chosen to wear or have been provided to protect against the transmission of COVID-
19. See SRS website for further information.

14. Work Schedule Changes/Creation of Work Pods or Crews or Cohorts For those required or wanting to resume work at UBC, detail how you are able to rescheduling of workers (e.g. shifted start/end times) in order to limit contact intensity at any given time at UBC; describe how you may group employees semi-permanently to limit exposure to specialized workers, if applicable
Not applicable. Details to be found in departmental plans.
15. Spatial Analysis: Occupancy limits, floor space, and traffic flows Using UBC building keyplans: 1) Identify and list the rooms and maximum occupancy for each workspace/area; 2) Illustrate a 2 metre radius circle around stationary workspaces and common areas; and 3) Illustrate one-way directional traffic flows
• Please refer to Appendix B for individual room keyplans.
• Occupancy of each room was individually assessed and site checked.
• All rooms are chosen using max enrolment sizes provided by the department. This ensures the spaces are large enough to allow physical distancing for each registered student plus an instructor and TA, if applicable. [August 20, 2020]
• Using room plans, created from as-built drawings in AutoCAD, capacity is based on each student having a 2 metre diameter circle, with no overlap. In the future, if the 2m distancing requirement is relaxed, we will review and change occupant limits.
• In rooms with movable furniture, furniture was moved to create the highest occupancy limit while maintaining the 2m distancing and sufficient aisle space for moving into and around the room.
• Floors will be marked with tape and decals to indicate where students can sit, and where instructors can stand and roam.
• Any one-way flow traffic within the classroom will be marked
• Classrooms with more than 1 door may be marked for “enter” or “exit”.
• Faculty, staff, students will enter and leave academic teachings spaces in single file maintaining 2 metres physical distance requirements [August 20, 2020]

18. Worker Screening Describe how you will screen workers: 1) exhibiting symptoms of the common cold, influenza or gastrointestinal; 2) to ensure self-isolation if returning to Canada from international travel; and 3) to ensure self-isolation if clinical or confirmed COVID-19 case in household or as medically advised
Until UBC or the province provides greater guidance, your screening process, at minimum, must include front and back entry door signage for both workers or visitors/guests that prohibits entry if any of the above 3 criteria apply. Worksafe provides such signage, as below:
• Worksafe: Entry Check for Workers
• Worksafe: Entry Check for Visitors
The Learning Space team will coordinate building door signage with building users.
Students taking part in face-to-face classes, or attending campus for other reasons, now need to directly confirm to their instructor/UBC representative that they have completed a self-assessment for symptoms of COVID-19 before arriving at their class. Please use the BC self-assessment tool at https://bc.thrive.health/. Anyone experiencing symptoms should follow the guidance provided in the self-assessment tool. Please note that the requirement to actively self-assess is ongoing. We will provide further updates as we receive them. [December 1, 2020]
