The PLU Safety Committee meets monthly. We come together to discuss recent incidents/injuries, causes, and remedial actions; building safety inspection results; local and state agency visits and, if any, identified violations; PLU's occupational health, safety and accident prevention program; risk management; and safety initiatives.
Would you like to know what we look for when doing an inspection? Check out our Building Inspection Checklist.
Some of the topics we have addressed include: safe driving, violence in the workplace, workplace ergonomics, chemical hazards, community safety education, lockdown emergency response, use of personal protective equipment, skateboard use on campus, wheels only lanes, and temperature set point policy.
