A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):

The George Washington University builds its workplace health and safety programs based on a prevention model. Programs are designed to provide training and support to university employees, faculty and students, and each program has an integral or associated response guidance document to assist university and local responders during an incident. Internal capabilities include strengths in chemical and chemical waste management, hazardous materials identification and mitigation, fire prevention inspection, fire cause and origin investigation, and training outreach with a focus on occupational safety and fire prevention. Health and Safety staff members are a constant presence in the university community, performing waste management, outreach and inspection duties daily.
