Environmental Health & Occupational Safety Steering Committee

Purpose

The goal for the College Environmental Health & Safety Committee is to reinforce environmental health and safety as an institutional priority. This committee will be comprised of broad representation across all divisions of 草莓视频APP and will collaborate on, monitor, and maintain a safe learning and working environment. The committee will engage in open discussion, proactively address potential issues, or problems, and mitigate risks

Vision

The goal for this committee is to eliminate workplace hazards and environmental concerns, to maintain a safe campus community. A proactive safety culture integrates Occupational Safety, Health & Environmental programs into the continuous improvement process across the entire organization. Modifying and standardizing existing Occupational & Environmental Safety Management processes/ practices within the framework of a Safety Management System will lead to significant improvement in the public health and safety experience of both students and employees and ensure a proactive and robust culture of safety.
