A brief description of when and why the workplace health and safety baseline was adopted:
A new EHS Director was hired in 2008 and then a Safety Manager in Facilities Services. Workplace safety training and data management were subsequently enhanced. Workplace safety and health data is reviewed annually. This is the fourth year the University has received a "Certificate of Safety Achievement" at the Gold level from NC Department of Labor.
A brief description of the institution’s workplace health and safety initiatives:
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) is committed to providing a safe and healthful environment for all persons associated with the University, including faculty, staff, students, visitors, and members of the Chapel Hill community. The EHS department supports that effort through education, training, consultation, recognizing and controlling health and safety hazards, ensuring a process of regulatory compliance, and minimizing potential liabilities. Annually EHS goals are established and there is a program review. The results of the program review are in the EHS Annual Report http://ehs.unc.edu/ehs/ar/.
The University emphasizes an integrated systems approach, as well as safety education and training, as the primary means of achieving this goal. The Environment, Health and Safety department is primarily responsible for environment, health and safety functions at the University, by developing EHS programs and performing various periodic inspections. Department heads, faculty members, and supervisors are considered directly responsible for maintaining full compliance with State and Federal regulations and University safety policies and procedures. The EHS website http://ehs.unc.edu/index.shtml provides in-depth health and safety information.
