General Safety

The University recognizes the importance of maintaining a healthy and safe workplace for not only students and staff, but also for the entire University Community. We, as an employer, have the duty to keep the workplace safe. In keeping with that philosophy, the university has provided employees with a list of their rights and responsibilities.

One of the best ways to maintain a safe workplace is to report unsafe conditions. Employees are encouraged to prevent accidents from happening by reporting hazardous and unsafe conditions.
