A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:
The University of Massachusetts Amherst Physical Plant Safety Office implements the campus EHS policies, programs, and practices as applicable to Physical Plant operations, which include Utilities, Grounds, and Building Maintenance.
The primary elements of the Physical Plant program include:
(1) Training
(2) Inspections/ Audits
(3) Accident Prevention/ Investigation
We take a pro-active stance which includes heavy emphasis on hazard awareness & assessment, as well as worker participation in all three of the above elements.
Within these general initiatives we may have specific initiatives at any given time. These may be a campus- initiative, or part of a nation-wide (OSHA) campaign. In 2014 these included “Ladder Safety”, “Motor Vehicle Safety”, and “Working in Laboratories”.
