A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives, including how workers are engaged in monitoring and advising on health and safety programs:
As approved by the President, the Risk Management Policy of California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) was specifically designed to identify and measure all types of risk to the campus, and to implement risk management techniques that do not prevent the University from carrying out its mission. The CSUB Risk Management Policy is a campus wide policy that coordinates all of the current health and safety policies and procedures. However, risk management is not limited to just health and safety matters, and includes other areas such as contractual litigation, discrimination, and sexual harassment. It is the goal of the Risk Management Policy to identify and evaluate risk, select and implement the best risk management techniques, and monitor the results.
