Safety, occupational health, and loss prevention are the responsibility of all employees. Accidental loss and occupational illness can be controlled through the active participation of management and all employees in reporting any unsafe conditions or unsafe actions to their supervisor, the Vice President of Finance, or the Safety and Security Manager. It is also the responsibility of management and all employees to identify and correct incidents or conditions with potential for an unsafe or unhealthful
workplace. In addition, any accidents/injuries occurring on campus or off campus in the course of performing one's job duties must be reported to Human Resources as stated in the Workers' Compensation provisions.

A safe and healthful work environment can be achieved through the collective efforts of all employees and through personal awareness and by using good judgment and common sense.
