Responsibility for Safety
Though EHS serves as the campus community’s primary advisor and resource on research and academic environmental health and safety issues, employee health and safety responsibility is shared through all levels, from the President to the individual employee. Administrators, directors, and anyone acting as a supervisor, in any capacity, bear the primary responsibility for safety in the workplace. Only those with the decision-making authority can ultimately be responsible for ensuring that the work environment is safe and that employees work safely.
Employees also bear some responsibility. They must adhere to all University, departmental, or office safety policies and procedures and comply with safety directives issued by their supervisors. However, they also need the knowledge, proper equipment and facilities, and motivation only management can provide.
Finally, all campus community members must remain vigilant and take the initiative to immediately correct and/or report unsafe conditions or activities they observe. In the final analysis, safety is everyone’s job.
