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:

The Office of Environmental Health and Safety offers a Safety Manual with dozens of policies, procedures and written plans, as well as safety training, dependent upon job type. EHS also has a Job Safety Analysis website, where employees can look up specific occupational hazards based on their job title or task (http://web.utk.edu/~ehss/job_safety_analysis/JSA.html). Additionally, in the winter of 2013 the College of Social Work's Center for Applied Research and Evaluation launched an employee health and wellness initiative by sending out a survey to assess employees' health behaviors, risks and interests in terms of health and wellness activities on and off campus. The initiative was developed under the guidance of the VOLwell Committee.
