threats to their safety.
With this concern in mind, Fire
Academy unveiled its latest
production, an Edukit on Electrical Safety for Fire Fighters, at a
special premiere on Wednesday,
January 31. The Edukit series is
intended as a guide for instructor-

led learning. Each Edukit includes an instructor's manual
complete with graphics for overhead projection, and a supporting
videotape.
Electrical Safety for Fire
Fighters was produced by Fire
Academy with assistance from
the Open Learning Agency and
BC Hydro. The videotape component of the program is designed
for use in an interactive format.
It includes a number of
dramatized situations involving
potential electrical hazards. As
each scenario is introduced the
instructor is prompted to stop
the tape and solicit suggested
courses of action from the fire
fighters. The tape is then restarted and the recommended
course of action is demonstrated.
The dramatizations are combined with high tech special effects
to maintain audience interest
and promote learning effectiveness.
The Electrical Safety for Fire
Fighters Edukit is dedicated to
the memory of Captain Dan Williams of the District of North Vancouver Fire Department. Captain
Williams died on June 18, 1985
as a result of an incident involving an electrical hazard. The Fire
Academy believes that proper
training can help to prevent such
tragedies from occurring. 0

(almost)
The job action by the Ambulance
Paramedics of BC, which included
shuting down training in EHS
Academy for most of December,
ended just days before Christmas.
Minister of Labour and Consumer
Services Norman Jacobsen appointed Vince Ready as Commissioner of Inquiry into the dispute
between the Ambulance Paramedics of BC, CUPE Local 873,
and the BC Ambulance Service.
Back on the job, EHS Academy
instructors have been busy rescheduling courses to minimize
the impact on their students. "We
all appreciate the co-operation we
are receiving from other
academies as we make adjustments to our training schedule,"
said Program Director Kelly Murphy. "By working evenings and
weekends we were able to complete the final examinations for
our paramedic class so that they
could graduate January 20- on

BCBC's Asbestos
Management Program in effect
at the JI
BC Buildings Corporation has established an Asbestos Management Program to deal with all .
buildings that have been identified as having asbestos-containing
material (ACM's). The program
involves taking a pro-active role
in ensuring BCBC's clients have a
healthy office environment.
To accomplish this goal at the
JI, BCBC has surveyed all buildings at the complex and has
labeled all areas with asbestoscontaining material. Approximately 95% of the asbestos
at the JI is contained in the pipe
insulation for the heating and hot ·•
water system. The other 5% is in
linoleum floor tiles. BCBC has
determined that the asbestos in
the floor tiles presents no danger
unless the tile is damaged by a
drill or saw or other mechanical
device. The asbestos in the pipe
insulation presents no danger unless the wrapping is broken and
fibers are released into the air.
BCBC will handle this potential
hazard in the following manner:
• Log Books and Information

Guides for each building have
been placed at the reception desk
in Blake Hall.
• Supervisors and managers at the JI
have attended an awareness seminar and are able to respond to any
questions or concerns that come
up.
• BCBC staff have been trained to
deal with asbestos should the need
arise.
• All trades people under contract to
BCBC will be trained in the use of
the log book system.
• BCBC staff will routinely inspect
the asbestos to assure that its condition has not changed.
While BCBC feels there is no
danger of exposure to asbestos
fibers in their present condition
(encapsulated and sealed) they
have requested that if anyone
should discover any damaged insulation that they suspect could
contain asbestos they refer to the
log book and notify their supervisor. BCBC should then be contacted so they can respond to the
situation to avoid any further contamination. 0

setting up a
research
section
The race to get trained
paramedics onto the streets has
meant that research surrounding
our practices has lagged behind.
The academy is aggressively
trying to correct this. We have applied to funding agencies for the
money we need to fund five important studies. They include researching efficient ways to deploy
automatic defibrillators, better
ways to diagnose patients with
respiratory disease, improving
ways of using IV therapy, and
optimum personality profiles for
recruits entering the ambulance
service.
In connection with the research
into efficient deployment of automatic defibrillators, EHSA Program Director Kelly Murphy and
seconded instructor Pat Seline
have completed a study of a new
device for training in rapid
defibrillators and are submitting
their study to a competition sponsored by the ambulance service's
Community Service Division. The
winner will receive a $1 000 bursary. 0

The Fuss Over Foam
by Tad Dick

Ah, the miracle of science! Imagine being able to abandon those
awful paper cups that eventually
got soggy and were always too hot
to hold. And those stupid little
paper handles were so flimsy you
were likely to have the cup of coffee in your lap. Then, with the
miracle of styrofoam you could
have a steaming hot cup of coffee
without flimsy handles, without
getting soggy and, best of all, the
insulating qualities of styrofoam
kept the coffee hot for a long, long
time. And -- this is the really
great part -- when you were
finished, you just threw them
away. Wow! Handy, light, disposable, convenient, retain heat,
cheap to make. Was there no end
to the miracle of modern science?
Well, so much for living happily
ever after.
We have since learned that the
fluorocarbons used in the
manufacture of most styrofoam
products do extensive damage to
the ozone layer which, among
other things, protects us from the
ravages of those ranges of natural
sunlight which damage skin and
create cancerous tissues in human skin. Hey, no problem, we'll
just use sunscreen. Although

there is the consideration that
without the protective ozone
layer, the earth is bombarded to a
much larger extent by these rays,
too, and we probably don't have
enough block to protect her from
that damage. There is something
about temperature changes and
.encroaching desert, you say. Certainly science will find a way to
combat those problems. And,
hold on, listen to this, we'll learn
to make styrofoam without
fluorocarbons! All right, problem
solved. There is current technology to do it and some manufacturers of styrofoam are using that
technology now.
One problem down, one to go.
We've solved the manufacturing
glitch and are continuing to use
styrofoam at an ever increasing
rate; we've only one problem left
to consider. What are we going to
do with all the accumulated easily-disposable cups, packing and insulating when we are finished
with them after just one use?
There is no good news to follow.
the bad here, folks. There isjust
no place to put incredible quantities of styrofoam when we've
finished with it. The bad news is:

New phone

system expected
by··March
Representatives from each
academy and division at the JI
have been working with BC Systems Corporation experts to establish a direct in-dial telephone
system which we hope will be installed by the end of March. This
system will allow for each of our
locals to have its own separate
phone number which callers can
use to reach individuals directly
without going through the
switchboard. In addition, it turns
out that our existing desk phones
will need to be replaced f:Uld each
Academy/l)ivision is currently assessing its individual phone requirements so that the new
system can be made to be as efficient as possible.· The committee
is at the early stage of the work

Trivial Pursuit is frequently used
during the probation officer basic
training course as a fun and easy
way to review the key points of a
particular days agenda. The
game helps the instructor
evaluate those who are having difficulty with the concepts and those
who are not.
This is how it works: The class
is divided into three or four groups
of up to five people in a group
depending on class size. Each
group receives an equal number of
questions with a specific time
period (usually 20 seconds) in
which to answer them. If a group
gives a correct answer, that group
receives one point. After all questions are given, points are totalled
and one group is designated as
winner. The probation officers
play for the Challenge Cup Trophy
which is awarded to the group
with the most points at time of
graduation.
The game takes about 15-20
minutes to complete and can become quite energized at times.
Along with the serious questions,
real Trivial Pursuit questions are
thrown in to test people's
knowledge in other areas ... and
sense of humour. It's a fun and
upbeat way to end an often exhausing day of learning. 0

Mug shot: The new Extension Programs mug Is "wanted" as a
replacement for styrofoam.

Styrofoam .•• con't from page 5
1) it is not biodegradable -- it lasts
forever, 2) it can't be effectively
crunched into much smaller disposable units, 3) there is virtually
no technology for recycling it (McDonald's is working on this -- assuming you tum in your Big Mac
styrofoam container), 4) dumping
sites are rapidly disappearing,
and 5) you don't want to build anything on land fill that contains
styrofoam, eh?
So, what do you think? Are
you proud of the Justice Institute
for moving forward by committing
to using no more styrofoam by the
end of March? Pretty forwardthinking, isn't it? After all, we
only used (and tossed away)
125,000 styrofoam cups last year.
That's just us -- the JI -- and
theyll be with us forever. Yep,
125,000 from last year alone.
Long after we are gone theyll be
here. And what about the

125,000 from the year before and
the year before that? And what
about every other restaurant and
institution in the city, province,
country, world? That's the bad
news, team, theyre going to be
here forever.
You can help put an end to the
cycle, though, by joining Extension Programs in its efforts to find
an alternative to styrofoam cups.
We are asking our students and
staff to either bring their own coffee mug or purchase one of our
new JI mugs. Washing them out
is a bit inconvenient but so is stepping over styrofoam for all eternity.
Mugs are available for only
$3.25 at the Stop-to-Go Cafe. For
bulk orders at a reduced price for

Court Services training a~ the
Justice Institute offers a variety
of courses for staff who work in
court offices around the province.
A Management Skills for Supervisors program and its follow-up
Super Supervisor course have
been running for about three
years. The goal is to provide consistent supervisory training to
courts employees. Court Services

The JI News Vol 21#4

also offers courses in financial
management for managers and
clerical personnel, courses in the
area of coaching skills for
employees who do one-on-one
training on the job, and an instructional techniques course for
employees who instruct groups
on the job. An example of the
latter is the Field Instructors Program where Deputy Sheriffs
employed by the courts teach
other sheriffs baton and hand-gun
use.
Courts also runs several
Deputy Sheriff training programs
each year. This training is done
in conjunction with on-the-job
manual training with employee
and supervisor, followed up with
a four week program at the JI.

Staff Development Officer,
Deputy Sheriff Brian Woods, is

Non-traditional degree offers advantages for
people with educational and work experience
by1Derek White
Recently; I had the experience of
earning a degree from a non-traditional university. This begs the
question, "What is a non-traditional university?" This question is
best answered by first reviewing
the essential elements of a traditional university. ·A traditional
university requires students to attend classes on a full- or part-time
basis and some requirements may
be stringent and frustrating for
applicants. In the main, student
bodies are made up of those who
are recent high school graduates
with few life experiences. The
non-traditional university offers
an alternative method of earning
a degree. It is especially attractive to adults with considerable
work and life experiences and who
may not have had the the opportunity, for one reason or another,
to attend university.
Many universities offer nontraditional degrees and they vary
from requiring students to attend
classes at specified times
throughout the course of study, to
no formal classes at all. For the
most part, students can choose
subject areas that they feel are
relevant to their needs and can
set their own timetable for completing them. The university
from which I received my degree
requires the applicant to complete
a portfolio which documents:
work experience, university
credits, college/institute credits,
technical credits, major achievements, papers published, and how
you have integrated what you
have learned into your work.
The university I attended is
structured to accommodate those
students who are advanced in
their careers and have substantial
educational and work experiences
that will qualify for many of the
required credits. Students who do
not have the necessary academic

8

background to receive the lower
level credits are given an individually designed course of
study to follow. Students must
demonstrate their ability to
analyze, criticize and integrate
knowledge into the work they are
already doing.
I must point out that this type ·
of degree program is not fo:r
everyone, but is an alternative for
those who have reached a point in
their careers where they are seeking formal recognition of their expertise and achievements.
Criticism of the non-traditional
degree most often comes from
those who have earned traditional
degrees and seem to resent the
fact that a degree was awarded in
a shorter period of time than it
took them to receive theirs. What
these critics fail to recognize is
that it may have taken much
longer to receive the non-traditional degree because the degree is

awarded not only based upon the
student's recent academic achievements but also on lifelong learning and experience. Furthermore,
as John Bear points out, "Traditional education bases degree requirements on the medieval
formula of some generalized and
some specialized education where
non-traditional education bases
degree requirements on an agreement between the student and
the faculty, aimed at helping the
student achieve career, personal
and professional goals."
If you are seeking a degree, I
would be pleased to offer any assistance I can. I would also highly recommend that you consult
Bear's Guide to Earning a Nontraditional College Degree. by J.
Bear (Berkeley: Ten Speed Press,
1988). The JI library has a copy.

An introduction to the
JI video
Over the years the JI has grown
and changed in a number of
ways. This often creates a problem when one tries to briefly communicate to others what the
Justice Institute is and what we
do.
To adequately answer the question we need a variety of resources. One which we are presently
working on is a short, seven to
eight minute video production
that will contain a 45-second introduction, one-minute segments
on each academy, and a 45second closing. It is being
planned and shot in a way that

will allow us to update it when required and use it in a variety of
settings, i.e., to provide an overview for visitors, new students
and staff; for conferences; for use
by our marketing people; for
meetings with our client groups;
and other opportunities as they
develop.
Curt Hunter is heading up the
project from the JI Media Centre.
Gary Payne, an outside consultant, is scripting and producing
the video with Curt.
Look for this new production to
be ready by late February or
March. 0

PEP Academy programs up and running
With the arrival of two instructors in September and another in
December, the Provincial Emergency Program Academy q?EP) is
now up and running with the fol- .
lowing programs now underway.

Dangerous goods
PEP Academy, with Ross McIntyre as course co-ordinator, conducted several Awareness Level
Dangerous Goods courses in
December and January. The twoday course is designed to provide
the first reponder and others who
in the course of their normal
duties may be the first on the
scene of a dangerous goods incident, with the awareness,
,
knowledge and procedures to safely and effectively initiate response
to the incident.
In co-operation with Fire
Academy and Pacific Marine
Training Institute, the JI is
reviewing all dangerous goods
training to ensure a minimum of
duplication and the maximum use
of National Fire Protection Association Response Standards. As

part of this review, Len Garis
from Fire Academy monitored the
January course conducted by Ross
Mcintyre. Pacific Marine Training Institute is respresented by
John Lewis and Johri. Consiglio at
the BC Safety Training site at
Maple Ridge. This cross-pollination of ideas and review of training is consistent with the goals of
the Justice Institute and PEP
Academy.

Orientation for municipal
and area co-ordinators Level 1
On the weekend of January 20,
Peter Pershick; formerly of Corrections Academy, conducted the
first of three Level 1 Orientation
courses for municipal and area coordinators. This training
provides participants with an
overview of their job functions,
duties and responsibilities, and is
essential to maintain standard
operations and training of PEP
volunteers in the field. The 16

Search and rescue
George Makowski, the Search
and Rescue (SAR) instructor, has
produced and delivered 700
copies of a new search and rescue
manual to PEP zone managers.
This manual, the first comprehensive one since 1982, is essential to

In Corrections, men are
learning to work with women
A recent study of men and women
working together in correctional
institutions has showed that, although considerable progress has
been inade in increasing the representation of women working in
male institutions, many of the
male staff are still resistent and
non-supportive. The study involved collecting information
from both men and women who
work together in correctional
centres to evaluate current attitudes and issues related to crossgender staff of institutions. One

hundred and seven questionnaires and 38 personal interviews formed the basis for the
study, which was conducted by
Vera Bergman.
The study recommended a
number of positive steps which
could be taken in relation to
recruitment, selection, basic
training and management training. Workshops on men and
women working together will be
held during the next year to
address some of the attitude issues. 0

New iook for the JI
The Justice Institute has been
working with graphics consultant
John Lynn to develop a design to
be used on the JI's letterhead, envelopes, business cards, calendar,
flyers and other publications. The
idea is to have a standard design
and format which will be consistently used for as much of the JI's
printed material as is feasible.

(In keeping with the JI's recent
efforts to become more environmentally responsible, the new
letterhead will be printed on
recycled paper.) A test run of
the new letterhead will be
available soon and staff will be invited to comment on the new
design before a final decision is
made. 0
