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

FY 2006 was chosen as it was used often in STARS 1.2 (under which we received our last score) and because it's used as a baseline year for other STARS credits. We used it for continuity and consistent reporting.


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

UNH created an Occupational Safety Committee (OSC) to ensure that all students, faculty, staff, and visitors are provided a safe environment on campus. This committee serves as an advisory group concerned with safety, health, and environmental protection. Its purpose is to assist in the identification and control of workplace hazards. The OSC meets on a quarterly basis and makes recommendations to the UNH Environmental Health and Safety Committee for addressing hazards and improving safety.
