Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management

Health and Safety

Injury and Illness Prevention Program

The California state regulations require every employer to establish, implement and maintain an effective injury prevention program. We have developed a campus-wide Illness and Injury Prevention Program that outlines the overall plan for University compliance.

Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management is responsible for overseeing the University IIPP. Tasks include:

  • Periodic work area inspections
  • Identifying and correcting unsafe acts and conditions
  • Informing employees of unsafe conditions that cannot be immediately corrected
  • Accident review/investigation
