Employees must work collaboratively to accomplish this purpose, which can only be achieved through safe and efficient work practices. Student, faculty, and staff safety is vital to our success. We accept the moral and legal responsibility of providing safe and healthy working conditions.  Our objective is to implement a comprehensive safety plan that meets all federal, state, and local safety codes, in addition to established policies, and maintain safe and healthy conditions in offices, classrooms, general facilities, and grounds.

This objective can be reached if all employees accept personal responsibility for their own safety and well being. Safe work habits are an essential element of satisfactory job performance. Each employee is responsible for immediately reporting potentially unsafe conditions and work practices and taking effective temporary actions to minimize the risk to themselves and others.

By accepting shared responsibility for safety, everyone contributes to the protection of property while maintaining a productive and safe work and learning environment.
