Safety Communication Network

The Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management is charged with the general oversight of the university's safety program. Communication channels that connect each area of the university with the safety office are necessary for an effective safety program. Each division of the university shall designate a safety representative or representatives who will act as the liaison(s) between the division and the safety office. The purpose of the safety communication network is not to relieve the division members of the general responsibility but to recognize hazards in their areas of activity and take positive action to reduce or eliminate those hazards; nor is it to relieve the faculty and staff members of their responsibility to educate their students and employees about proper job procedures and recognized hazards before making task assignments.
