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:
MSU Occupational Health provides medical assessment, monitoring, intervention, and evaluation to MSU employees related to their occupational risks. The office shares responsibility for the health and safety of the MSU community with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) .A long-term EHS goal is to divide campus into ""neighborhoods,"" each with designated EHS staff assigned. EHS already sees the benefits of dedicated safety staff assigned to Veterinary Medical Center, Cyclotron/FRIB, Radiology, Grand Rapids Research Center, IACMI, IPF, and RHS. A full-time, comprehensive, hands-on safety approach, facilitiating communications between EHS and campus units, is the most effective strategy to foster a culture of safety at Michigan State University.Additional Specialized Safety Coverage
