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.
A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:
All employees at Florida State University complete new employee orientation training and ongoing training that provide opportunities for employees to advise on health and safety programs. Employees are encouraged to report unsafe acts/conditions and near misses to supervisors, health & safety staff, either directly or anonymously through an online reporting tool and the University ethics hotline.
Programs administered by the Environmental Health and Safety Department are as follows.
Biological Safety
Industrial Hygiene
