The Queen's University Off-Campus Activity Safety Policy (OCASP) – became effective on 01 September 2004 and applies to all Students, Faculty and Staff, who are undertaking studies, doing research, or carrying out any other work that takes place off-campus and is under the purview of the University. 

Undergraduate students involved in university-sanctioned international travel are also required to enroll in the  Queen's University Emergency Support Program for Study, Work or Travel Abroad (ESP). The University is committed to ensure that all Off-Campus Activities are conducted in as safe and as fully aware a climate as possible.  A risk assessment is to be conducted for all off-campus activities; those deemed to be of higher risk require a full risk analysis be completed and approved prior to the activity.

Senior Administrators must ensure that there are programs and policies in place to ensure the institution adequately prepares its program participants for their sojourn abroad.

For further information please visit the Environmental Health and Safety website http://www.safety.queensu.ca/ and access the OCASP tab.

PLEASE NOTE - we are in the process of moving to a new on-line system.

If you are going abroad for the spring or summer of 2012 you are asked to follow this link to complete the OCASP Safety Planning Record. 

If you are going abroad for the fall or fall/winter terms of 2012/13 please email QUESP@queensu.ca to access the new Off-Campus Activity Safety Policy on-line planning tool.
