The university maintains that the safety and protection of students and employees is one of our greatest concerns. Therefore, every supervisor and employee is responsible for working cooperatively with the director of safety and security to eliminate unsafe conditions that can cause unnecessary injuries and accidents. It is also the responsibility of all employees to follow all federal, state, and local standards, and for supervisors to stay current on these standards, to communicate them to their staff, and to enforce them. Safety is a priority at the university.
Every effort is made to keep work areas safe and free from hazards.
Supervisors are to assist employees with safety and health requirements. You are expected to observe all applicable safety requirements, and to immediately report any unsafe or hazardous condition to your supervisor. If you are injured on the job, please notify your supervisor immediately. Your supervisor should notify the director of human resources to be certain that the university's workers' compensation carrier is notified immediately. The safety and security department should also be notified of the situation immediately to assess and investigate circumstances of the incident.
