A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted:

Based on the 2014 Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas Collective Work Contract (http://www.sutauat.org.mx/Contrato_Colectivo_12.pdf), the Security and Health Commissions were renovated in order to stablish a Program to detect the risk areas, biological and chemical operations (laboratory areas, dental and medical clinics), and implement the necessary capacitation in this matter.
