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

The safety baseline was adopted to distinguish whether there was an upward or downward trend in workplace injuries.


A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:

Although all risks and exposures cannot be foreseen or eliminated, through this policy the board intends to establish a framework within which the university administration can effectively and efficiently establish and maintain a risk management and environmental health and safety program.
The risk management and environmental health and safety program shall include general, occupational, and environmental health and safety, environmental protection, general risk management, loss prevention, insurance, and claims administration. The RM/EHS program will be established and maintained under an enterprise-wide philosophy, whereby safety and risk control are incorporated into all facets of the organization and its programs; i.e. Enterprise Risk Management. The president is charged with the responsibility to provide for and require sound and proactive business, operations, and program practices in order to safeguard human, property, financial, and other resources of the university. The goal of the RM/EHS program will be to facilitate the accomplishment of the university’s primary missions of instruction, research, and public service at a reasonable cost with minimal disruptions and adverse events. This policy was instituted 06/08/06.
