A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted:
Florida State University is a public sector employer and is not subject to OSHA reporting requirements. Performance of Environmental Health and Safety injury rates are provided on a statewide level for State Agencies and Universities by the Florida Department of Financial Services. All agencies are compared to the statewide average and an injury rate is developed based on the number of injuries (requiring medical treatment) per 100 FTE’s for each agency. These rates are calculated and distributed to agencies on a semi-annual basis. Additionally the State of Florida has developed Loss Prevention Standards that agencies must comply with and are audited against at a minimum of every 5 years.

None
