In September 2000, Codes and Safety began offering a Drivers Safety Class. The class is for UAF facility, staff and students who may have occasion to drive a University vehicle. The card is good for two years from the date of class participation. Please sign up early as there is limited space available in each class. Most accidents result from unsafe acts caused by people or unsafe conditions in the work place.
Unsafe acts result from people failing to follow established safety rules and work procedures.
That's why a key element of UAF's safety emphasis is preventing controllable accidents - the kind we can do most about. Even though UAF tries to do everything it can to safeguard you while on the job, it's your responsibility to avoid unnecessary risks, take the necessary safety precautions, and make sure your work area is safe, healthy and secure. Because your actions can affect others, you are responsible for the health and safety of your co-workers and students. That's when you have become an accident waiting to happen. You or your co-worker could be exposed to serious injury if you don't know the rules and regulations of your work place.
