Mission Statement

The safety and health of our employees, students and visitors is unequivocally, the first consideration in the operation of this university.

The prevention of accidental injuries is of such consequence that it will be given precedence over operating productivity whenever necessary.

To the greatest degree possible, management will provide all mechanical and physical facilities required for personal safety and health in keeping with the highest standards.

We will maintain a safety and health program conforming to the best management practices of Public Universities.  To be successful, our program must embody the proper attitudes toward injury and illness prevention not only on the part of supervisors and employees, but also between each employee and his or her co-workers.  Only through such a cooperative effort can a safety program in the best interest of all be established and preserved.

Our objective is a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing, the best experience of public universities.  Our goal is nothing less than zero accidents and injuries.
