ASSIGNMENT OF SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY

A written operational loss prevention and safety plan is available at Louisiana Technical College - Greater Acadiana Region 4 for the protection of its faculty, staff, and students. In addition to a copy of this plan being available via the Region 4 Web site, a hard copy is ready for viewing in the Administration areas of each campus.

Although the ultimate responsibility for safety and health programs lies with the administration, employees are a key to daily implementation of safety and assuring that safety planning is coordinated in day-to-day learning and work activities. If employees do not make safety and health an integral part of every activity, the agency will not maintain an effective safety and health program.

Oversight for safety and health measures also extend to regional management and/or the Louisiana Community and Technical College System. Students and the public are likewise charged with personal responsibilities for safety. Each has a role to play in developing and implementing acceptable attitudes and desirable behavioral patterns. However, final assignment of safety responsibility ultimately rests with the individual.

The following is a list of assigned responsibilities for various positions in the organization.
