Safety Policy
Nothing we do is worth getting hurt: No
employee should risk getting hurt in order to do a job. Likewise, no
student should risk injury in order to benefit from a learning experience.
Safety can and should be managed. Preventing accidents improves the
quality of life for our employees and leads to more efficient and
cost-effective operations.
All employees and students have the right and the responsibility to help
in the ongoing safety improvement process. We encourage employees
and students to assist in identifying and resolving safety concerns as
they arise.As a leader in education and outreach, we must ensure that all
facilities, activities, and programs serve as models of how safety can be
accomplished in the workplace, in classrooms and laboratories, on the
farm, at home, and in the community.
Certain hazards are always present due to the unique nature of our
work. We remind employees and students to be especially cautious while
driving and when working around machinery, equipment, animals, and
chemicals.
