Occupational Safety is the prevention of accidents, incidents, and events that harm people or the community.

We do this by:

• Providing advice on health and safety regulations, procedures, codes and standards and helping ensure continued compliance.
• Recommending improvements by performing work site inspections.
• Investigating employee work place accidents.
• Participating on Departmental Safety Committees.
• Furnishing information and resources to expedite safety improvements.
• Protecting the health and safety of School faculty, staff, and students by identifying and correcting safety hazards.
• Developing safety and health guidelines and policies.
• Planning, organizing and coordinating safety training.
