A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
The baseline was adopted to analyze EHS related injuries to reduce safety hazards and improve faculty/staff and student safety campus wide. As a branch of the Nebraska State Government, we are not governed by OSHA regulations and do not track OSHA injury/illness data through ENR's and DART or TOR ratings. The numbers reported for the credit are the total number of cases reported to worker compensation during the fiscal year.

Percentage reduction in workplace injuries and occupational disease cases per FTE employee from baseline:
14.31

Number of workplace injuries and occupational disease cases per 100 FTE employees, performance year:
2.27

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:
Monthly safety meetings, First Aid/CPR/AED trainings, safety walks, random building/workplace safety checks.
