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:

The University seeks a healthy and safe environment for all members of the University
community and for visitors. Every community member is obligated to perform his or
her job in a safe manner and to follow all safety rules and procedures. Community
members should immediately report any hazardous conditions or job-related illness or
injury to their supervisors.
We make every effort to provide you with safe working conditions. We observe all
applicable safety laws and no one will knowingly be required to work in an unsafe
manner.
Safety is every employee’s responsibility. Therefore, we request that you do everything
reasonable and necessary to keep SUA a safe place to work. All employees are asked to
report any unsafe condition to their immediate supervisor and/or the Director of
Environmental Health and Safety. Please be aware of potential fire hazards, unsafe
equipment operation, spills, lack of safety equipment, or other unsafe procedures or
hazardous conditions.
